nebulization

Nebulization is a medical process that turns liquid medication into a fine mist or aerosol, which can be inhaled directly into the lungs through a specialized device called a nebulizer. This method is often used to deliver respiratory treatments for conditions like asthma, COPD, or other lung issues. The patient breathes in the mist through a mask or mouthpiece, allowing the medication to reach the airways quickly and effectively. Nebulization provides targeted relief, especially for those who have difficulty using inhalers or need a higher dose of medication.
