What is Inhalation Therapy?

Inhalation Therapy involves the administration of medication through the respiratory tract using a nebulizer or other aerosol devices. This form of therapy is primarily used to treat respiratory diseases by delivering bronchodilators, anti-inflammatory drugs, and other medications directly to the airways, which helps to improve lung function and alleviate symptoms.

How Does Inhalation Therapy Work?

Inhalation Therapy works by converting liquid medication into a fine mist that can be easily inhaled into the lungs. This direct delivery system allows for rapid absorption of the medication into the respiratory tract, providing quick relief from symptoms and improving breathing capacity. The therapy is tailored to each patient's specific needs, depending on their medical condition and the severity of their symptoms.
