Which nebuliser?

5 Replies

Hi all, I've seen my doctor and he has given me prescription for meds to put in a nebuliser for when Im in danger of an excaserbation. I just need to know which one to buy, is it ok to buy a portable one or any suggestions please? He thinks it's a good idea to be prepared but he can't prescribe one unless I see the consultant .

We have the Philips Innospire Deluxe too and have no complaints. Costs £95 from Evergreen Nebulizers:

Hi, I also have the Philips InnoSpire Deluxe from Evergreen Nebulisers and it has made such a difference to me. Best thing to do is give them a call and they explain the difference between the machines they sell and help you make a more informed decision.

Give evergreen a call and tell them which meds you are on and they will tell you your options. If you get a portable it’s easier if you want to go away but they tend not to be so powerful. If you need to nebulise antibiotics you will need a more powerful nebuliser.

I got one from the respiratory nurse free but bought another one to keep in France to save me carrying it when I go on holiday to a friend's house. Does the job perfectly.

This one:

or this one, which is the same as the one I had until I dropped it :

One of these allows me to use the nebuliser in the car:
