In
medicine, a nebulizer is a device used to administer medication to people in forms of a liquid mist to the airways. It is commonly used in treating
cystic fibrosis,
asthma, and other
respiratory diseases.Also called "atomizers", they pump air or
oxygen through a liquid medicine to turn it into a
vapor, which is then inhaled by the patient.As a general rule, doctors generally prefer to prescribe
inhalers for their patients, not only because these are cheaper and more portable, but are often less potent and carry less risk of
side effects. Nebulizers, for that reason, are usually reserved only for serious cases of respiratory disease, or severe attacks.
