inhaled medications

Inhaled medications are drugs delivered directly to the lungs through breathing. They are commonly used to treat respiratory conditions like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). By inhaling the medication, it works quickly and efficiently where it’s needed most. Inhalers and nebulizers are typical devices for this purpose. Inhalers are portable, allowing for easy use on the go, while nebulizers create a mist for easier inhalation, often used in home settings. These medications can help reduce inflammation, relax airway muscles, and improve breathing, enhancing overall quality of life for individuals with lung issues.
