Aerosol Therapy
Aerosol therapy is a medical treatment that delivers medication directly to the lungs through inhalation. This method is commonly used for patients with respiratory conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and cystic fibrosis. The medication is often in the form of a mist or fine spray, allowing for quick absorption and relief of symptoms.
Devices like nebulizers and inhalers are typically used in aerosol therapy. Nebulizers convert liquid medication into a mist, while inhalers allow patients to inhale the medication directly. This targeted approach helps reduce side effects and improves the effectiveness of the treatment.
