subject: Coping With Copd With Medication Delivered Via A Nebulizer [print this page] If you are one of the individuals that has to live with the health condition COPD then it can really become difficult to live your life in a normal way. COPD refers to chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder and is quite common among the population as a very critical respiratory condition. One of the ways to actually cope with the condition is to utilize special medication. However, the way that this medication is taken by the individual has to be by way of a nebulizer. A nebulizer is a medical device that is used primarily for delivering medication to an individual with COPD in an aerosol manner whereby the medication is actually breathed in by the patient. The reason why it has to be breathed in is because these individuals can not take the prescription in the regular fashion and have to resort to breathing it in to get their dose in order to cope with their condition.
A nebulizer is a perfect travel mate for any individual that wants to go wherever they want without the worry that they will not be able to take their respiratory medication. The most important factor of this device is the fact that it actually is very portable. It is powered by a set of batteries and as such this gives you the power and the mobility that you so desire in order to move about freely. The other great feature of the device is the fact that it is very small and lightweight. As opposed to what you would have typically found in hospitals today's devices are very small and can actually fit in the palm of your hand. Because of this you can go as you please and when it is time to take your prescription you simply put the medicine inside the nebulizer and then within minutes it is ready to be breathed in.
