Nebuliser and travelling abroad

Hi

I was wondering if anyone can help ? Been to see my consultant today and he has prescribed a home nebuliser. I just wondered if anyone knew what I had to do about travelling abroad? Any recommendations for travel insurance?

Thanks 😊

Hi, I also have home nebulizers. Omron make a portable nebulizer and its very good, easily fits into a handbag etc. I use an Omron for my home nebulizer its much better than any other one I've used. To my knowledge you can only buy them online. Hope this helps x

I had a small omron for years which was great as previous to that I had a much bigger one. My local consultant and the regional one I see will no longer prescribe nebules.

Hi I recommend the omron nebulisers too. The portable one is small and quiet, quick and easy to set up. I have my bigger one I use at home is faster and easy to use.

I got both of mine on amazon xxx

Have a word with Evergreen Nebulisers in Manchester. They offer a good range of small portable nebulisers and offer great advice.

I can't give any advice on home nebulisers/travel nebulisers and all I would say about travel insurance is be completely honest with the people you choose. I've heard some horror stories about insurances not paying out because something was missed out. I find generally speaking that they're pretty reasonable. Good luck
