Nebuliser FAQs
What is a nebuliser?
A nebuliser is a machine that can change liquid medication into a vapour that you can inhale. It is generally used for people who are asthmatic or need to take medication in mist form. A pump should nebulise 80% of the medication in the first 8 minutes, so a standard dose would be done within 10 minutes^.
