Nebuliser suitable for saline and powdered glutathione

Do you mind sharing who prescribed the powdered glutathione and your specific diagnosis. I have purchased oral glutathione on my own to take as a supplement two or three times a week. Is there anyone else with experience with glutathione? Thanks so much

I used glutathione for our shared condition bronchiectasis. Theranaturals (link below) is where I purchased. I nebbed the powder from capsules, and also used it sublingually. I went through about 2 bottles and then started to take NAC instead, which is a precursor to glutathione. NAC is easier to take than nebbing glutathione. Glutathione is destroyed in the stomach so really doesn't do much good swallowing pills. After quite sometime I stopped NAC also. I cannot say I am better or worse. I've read medical studies both yea and nay about its benefits.

Regarding a nebulizer for glutathione -- I used to use Innospire Go for glutathione. I would imagine any nebulizer would work for nebbing it. Once you open the capsule it kind of bubbles a bit, dissolves and then you neb. If you want a reliable portable you'll need to spend some money -- check out eFlow by PARI. Hope this is helpful. I posted about this awhile in this forum. Search glutathione.

@heffers Welcome to Mayo Connect - there are a number of nebulizer discussions in this support group, and the consensus seems to be that the highly portable mesh nebulizers (like the no longer made Innospire Go) that are on the market have one of two flaws - either they don't last, or there is no way to sterilize them. I would also suggest that a solution which you mix yourself would be likely to clog the mesh screen quickly.

Many of us have found small portable battery operated compressor style nebulizers are a good alternative. I favor the DeVilbiss Traveler, which can be charged up and used for a week or more. Others have good results with the Pari Trek S, but say the battery may not last as long. Caveat - I have not tried these with glutathione that I dissolved - only with saline, budosenide and levalbuterol.

The advantage of these is that they use the nebulizer cup of your choice, which can be sterilized easily at home.
Which nebulizer are you currently using?

PARI eFlow withstands sterilization. It's suggested 5 minutes in boiling water.

I was using the Innospire by Philips which worked very well. I have bought two other portable mesh nebulisers that clog up and don't work.
I liked the Innospire Go and noticed the mesh has larger holes compared to the others I bought.

I use theranaturals in my nebuliser.

Has anyone tried the AvexMed Portable Nebulizer Machine?

Let's see what @lilianna has to say - she has owned one for several months, but only for backup use.
Also note, on their website it says it is suitable for albuterol and .9% saline - wondering if 3% or 7% would clog it. Also the Atomization Ratem0.2ml / min which means 20 minutes per 4ml vial - under ideal conditions.
Finally, I could not find sterilization instructions, except AI generated generic ones, some mesh units require weekly sterilization in alcohol or vinegar, so something else to store...

Which model of the DeVilbiss Traveler do you have?

No idea - about 3 years old.
