Several medications can be used in the treatment of asthma. Bronchodilators help open the airways by relaxing the muscles around the bronchi, while anti-inflammatory medications reduce inflammation in the airways.
Alongside treatment, it is strongly recommended to avoid triggers that can cause asthma attacks, such as cigarette smoke, air pollution, or allergens.
Nebulizers
A nebulizer is a device used in the treatment of asthma. It turns medication mixed with water into a fine mist that is inhaled into the patient’s airways. This method is effective because it delivers the treatment directly and quickly to the bronchi.
Pneumatic nebulizer
This type of nebulizer can be used at home and is plugged into an electrical outlet. It uses ambient air from the room to create an aerosol, delivering the medication into the patient’s airways.
Your medical follow-up
Starting treatment
The prescription of asthma treatment is decided by your treating physician. They will determine the appropriate equipment and medication based on your condition and individual situation.
Long-term prescription
In the case of a long-term prescription for a nebulizer, the device will be delivered to your home by Elia Médical. Elia Médical technicians will answer your questions and ensure the maintenance of the device.
