Asthma Medicine

Asthma medicine goes a long way in helping people who suffer from asthma cope with their condition. There are two basic types of asthma medications - long-term medication that helps prevent asthma attacks, and quick-relief asthma medicine, which avert acute asthma attacks. There are several devices that aid in the administration of asthma medicine. Holding chambers, for instance, are used with medicine that comes in an inhaler, and helps ensure maximum delivery of medicine to the lungs, while nebulizers turn the medicine into an aerosol form that can be easily inhaled.

Valved Holding Chambers & Nebulizer Equipment

Valved holding chambers, like the Optichamber Valved Holding Chamber, the AeroChamber Max, and the PARI Vortex Spacer ensure the most effective delivery of medication to the lungs. In addition, nebulizers that deliver asthma medicine in aerosol form are an important part of an asthma treatment regimen. Thes nebulizers are used both with quick-relief and long-term medications.

The PARI Proneb Ultra II Nebulizer lasts up to 500 hours, with a treatment time of 7-8.5 minutes; the PARI TREK Nebulizer features treatment time as low as 7 minutes, and is a also a good option for travel with its three power source options; the Omron Portable Nebulizer, at only 4 inches tall, is an excellent option for traveling, and has a treatment time of 10 minutes. The PARI LC Plus Nebulizer Kit is for use with any compressor and includes valves, tubing, an adapter, and usage instructions.

Treating Asthma in Children

As can be imagined, administering asthma medication to young children can be challenging. We carry several products especially for treating little ones who suffer from asthma. The AeroChamber MAX for children is available with small and medium masks. It features a Flow-Vu indicator so you can see that your child is receiving the medication. Children's Ducky Masks for PARI Vortex Spacers also make asthma treatment more manageable, as does the Bubbles Mask which minimizes aerosol loss.

Non-Medicinal Asthma Treatment Equipment

In order to monitor asthma, a Personal Best Peak Flow meter measures how quickly a patient can expel air from the lungs. This helps both physicians and patients manage their asthma.

Another part of dealing with asthma is minimizing conditions that exacerbate it. Cold weather often leads to increased mucus production, which can trigger an asthma attack. When you are outside in cold weather, asthma relief masks help keep the air you breathe warm. A mask is essential equipment to use when exercising in cold weather or when spending a prolonged period of time outside during the winter months. The Cold Weather Mask, a simple but durable polar fleece face mask manufactured by I Can Breathe, Inc., is perfect for asthma sufferers who are out in the cold even for short lengths of time.
