I ordered saline for contact lenses by mistake - am I able to use this in my nebuliser anyway or shall I throw it away? Thanks!

Personally I would throw it away! Not sure it would be the same strength/concentration as for the neb. TAD xx

I wouldn't nebulise anything into my lungs I wasn't sure of. Not worth the risk - your lungs are too prescious. cx

Hi

Although saline solution is salty water, there are different ingredients added subject to application,

You should only use any product for its intended purpose.

As Tadaw says return to supplier for safe disposal or throw away.

NO!!!! DO NOT USE!!!! for reasons above. If in UK - you should be getting saline nebs from GP on prescription so you can take what you have back to the pharmacy and explain what happened. The pharmacist may be able to sort the mistake out with your GP.

If in UK and are ordering over the internet - STOP and speak to your GP about your perceived need for saline nebs. I don't think you should be self prescribing.

Gawd, I'd listen to the others.

I wouldn't put anything in my mouth let alone my lungs that I wasn't sure of.

Would I put leaded petrol in my unleaded tank?

Even if you loose £50, your lungs are vital.

Never use meds for different things than prescribed,different concentrations etc.
