Inhalation therapy
Delivering a medicine straight to the lungs by breathing it in, to moisten the airways.
Inhalation therapy delivers a medicine straight to the lungs as you breathe it in. Because the drug reaches its target by the shortest route, the effect begins quickly and the risk of side effects is lower.
What it helps with
Inhalation moistens the airways, thins mucus and makes breathing easier. In allergic rhinitis, pharyngitis and some upper respiratory conditions it can support the easing of symptoms.
Together with the salt room
In respiratory programmes inhalation is often prescribed alongside speleotherapy — the salt room. The two do not replace one another: one delivers a medicine, the other is a quiet breathing session in a salt environment. The schedule is built by the doctor.
When Inhalation therapy is prescribed
- Allergic rhinitis
- Pharyngitis and chronic conditions of the upper airways
- As a supporting procedure in chronic sinusitis programmes
- Dryness of the airways and difficulty clearing mucus
- Together with ENT programmes
