Nebulizer treatments deliver liquid medications in a fine mist as you breathe through a mouthpiece or face mask. These devices are used to treat a variety of respiratory conditions and may be prescribed by our doctor for adult patients living with chronic lung disease or asthma. If you are experiencing difficulty using a metered-dose inhaler or are unable to hold your breath long enough for the inhaler to work, our Orlando nebulizer treatments can provide immediate relief. According to the National Institutes of Health, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common breathing disorder in 10% of the population over 75 years of age. While there is no cure for many chronic lung conditions, such as COPD or asthma, our treatment programs can provide inhaled medications that can help you breathe better.
Medicines that are properly inhaled go straight to your lungs and can help you breathe easier. If you use nebulizer treatments to convert medications for asthma, COPD, emphysema or other breathing conditions, Delta IMC has you covered. Common prescription medications that are delivered via a nebulizer include:
- Budesonide
- DuoNeb
- Ipratropium
- Pulmicort
- Xopenex
If you have questions about any medication that uses a nebulizer machine, contact Delta Internal Medicine for assistance in scheduling a wellness exam. Our board-certified physician can perform a brief lung exam for you or a loved one and will discuss all treatment options available. If you are having difficulty breathing or using an inhaler, nebulizer treatments can make inhaling medicines a lot easier. Our Internist and professional staff help patients with education, training and delivery of the medical devices and supplies to support his or her respiratory treatments.
Medical nebulizers are only available by prescription from a licensed healthcare professional. While you might see inhalers sold over the counter, these can be dangerous for people with heart conditions and certain health problems. Call (407) 985-1940 to schedule an appointment today.
