Anyone have any nebulizer recommendations?
Does anyone have any nebulizer recommendations. Would like something compact and easy to clean. Also any online sites that people recommend to get your supplies such as nebulizer and saline vials from? briefly looking it seems like there are a lot of options and they are fairly inexpensive.
Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the MAC & Bronchiectasis Support Group.
Hi...do you have any other suggestions for a portable nebulizer? I tried the ProNeBu but had to send it back as it did not work with regular batteries.....had to use the adapter. Thank you.
Yes, my trustworthy Pari Trek S. I don’t have a battery pack but you can get one.
Thank you. I will check Amazon.
From the information on this forum, I ordered the Pari portable nebulizer and really like it. It gives a great treatment in a relatively short period of time. It can plug into a wall socket in your room and has an adaptor to use when travelling.
@becleartoday Yes, I also had problems with my Innospire Go and it only lasted about a year but I'm still going to get another one because I couldn't believe how fast it was. And just yesterday I got my new ProNebu nebulizer and spotted one little sentence that said "do not use any medicines in powder form (even if dissolved)" and I had JUST dissolved a glutathione capsule into my saline which I now believe probably broke the Innospire. That's what I get for not reading every piece of the instructions. I also have liquid glutathione for the nebulizer and I go back and forth so now I'll use the capsules only with "desktop" nebulizer (as I call it) or as @sueinnm calls it the "slow and go". And I use just plain 7% saline without the glutathione some days but what I've found is at the glutathione makes my low grade inflammation go away for the period of time I'm using it. Nan
Nanette, that sounds like a great plan!
Best,

@nannette You can go to the company's (Phillips) website and get on their contact list to let you know when the Innospire Go is available. I also ordered the ProNebu 2 weeks ago and it still has not been shipped. There is an issue in China causing the delay. If someone needs a portable mesh nebulizer right away I would get another brand. Bill
This mesh nebulizer is almost silent, powered with AA batteries or USB and affordable. Highly rated on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B095RZDJJD/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_i_Y71194MG2828H7B4B0SG?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Lyle, do you personally use it? The nebulizers like this, sold on Amazon or in other non-medical setting, generally have a very short life, and/or clog from 7% saline or any other medicine except standard liquid albuterol.
After 40 years of experience, I personally will not recommend any nebulizer unless my daughter or I have used it successfully AND it lasted more than a year.

This is the nebulizer I use with 3 % saline. I've been using it for 4 months without any issues.
