Nebulizer And Supplies
A MyCOPDTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hi, my doctor told me to buy a nebulizer? Not sure what to buy and do I need extra supplies besides the medication? Any advice would be appreciated they have so many different ones to choose from. On Amazon it shows people bought paroxcide and some kind of saleine solutions. Is that something I need also?
Thank you

I have oxygen 24/7, do the nebulizer and two inhalers. My breathing is really bad. I walk a little then have to stop.

Nebulizer Use
A MyCOPDTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hi,

Recently diagnosed with emphysema.

I am going to start using a nebulizer, can anyone who uses one of these let me know which substances you use in yours and how effective they think they are?
Also - can you mix chemicals in them or use them one at a time?

Thanks​
