Your Prescription
Nebulizers are used to turn liquid medication
into a mist so that it can be inhaled. Nebulizer
therapy uses a prescribed drug. Never
increase your frequency of treatments or
volume of medication without the specific
approval of your physician. Please note that
the information provided here is meant to
supplement the information provided by your
physician, not to replace it. If your physician
changes the frequency of treatment or
medication volume, notify Apria Healthcare
of this change in your prescription.
For more information on your illness or
condition, the drugs used to treat them and
product information, please visit our web site
