A member asked:
At what point (or for what situations) does a doctor prescribe a nebulizer as opposed to just a regular scheduled albuterol inhaler?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Asthma: In studies, nebulizer and inhalers provide comparable doses of medications. Nebulizers are given to patients who do not have adequate coordination skills to use the inhalers properly.
