Household nebulisers, benefits of inhaling over-the-counter solutions
Aerosol (also inhalation) therapy is a technique of administering drugs in the form of an aerosol directly into the airways and lungs. An aerosol is a suspension of small liquid and/or solid particles in a gas. To create an aerosol, a medical device is used that turns the drug into fine aerosol particles that patients inhale into the airways (and also into the lungs). In this article, we will focus on the benefits as well as the limits of home inhalation of over-the-counter solutions.
