What Liquid To Use?

 

Using Water

Plain tap or bottled water should not be used in your nebulizer. Although it's suitable for drinking, it isn't sterile and may introduce harmful microorganisms directly into the airways.

Even distilled water isn't a substitute for sterile saline. Always use fluids specifically approved for nebulization and follow your healthcare provider's instructions.

Using Sterile Saline

Sterile 0.9% saline contains the same salt concentration as the body's natural fluids, making it suitable for nebulization when recommended by your healthcare provider.

When inhaled as a fine mist, saline can help moisten the airways and loosen thick mucus, making secretions easier to clear.

Convenient, pre-measured single-use saline ampoules help ensure consistent preparation and proper hygiene during treatment. Use only sterile saline intended for nebulization, in the amount advised by your healthcare provider.

Using Prescribed Medication

Nebumed can also be used to administer compatible prescription medications when recommended by your healthcare provider.

A nebulizer converts liquid medication into a fine mist that can be inhaled through a mask or mouthpiece, delivering treatment directly into the airways. Depending on the medication prescribed, this can help manage symptoms such as wheezing, airway inflammation and breathing difficulties.

For families with children who require nebulized medication, having a portable device at home means treatment equipment is readily available when needed.

Always follow your doctor's prescribed dosage and treatment schedule. Not all medications are suitable for mesh nebulizers, so confirm compatibility before use. Children should use prescribed nebulized medication under appropriate medical supervision.
