The advantages of Aerosol Therapy  [ Return towards  Overview about Aerosol Therapy  ]

Aerosol therapy acts locally, rapidly, intensely. The inhaled drug goes straight into the respiratory system.

Aerosol therapy is a natural treatment. Spray treatment is a practical, age-old method, a natural and gentle one that uses water as a vehicle for the drug.

Aerosol therapy has limited side effects. Drugs prescribe for respiratory diseases administered systemically (oral, intramuscular and rectal) nearly always generate undesirable side effects. Local administration by means of an aerosol, on the other hand, means the drug is absorbed only where it is needed, so it does not create problems in other areas.

Aerosol therapy is perfect for children. Young children can often not be treated with systemic drugs, and aerosol therapy is the ideal solution for them. >

Aerosol therapy is a means of prevention. An aerosol is the easiest and most natural treatment for the daily prevention of infections of the airways.

Aerosol therapy allows the use of combined drugs. An aerosol can be used to administer more than one drug at the same time, but each one requires a GP’s prescription.
