In the treatment of numerous respiratory diseases, acute and chronic, aerosol therapy has considerable advantages over other methods of administration: its effect is more effective and is generally well tolerated by patients. The deposition of a drug by aerosol allows the treatment to be focused in the area of interest, thus minimizing systemic dispersion, reducing side effects and favoring the rapid regression of symptoms. For aerosol therapy to be effective, an adequate percentage of the drug must reach the area to be treated, which can be found in the peripheral areas of the respiratory system that are difficult to reach and the aerosolized drug risks depositing in the higher tracts (oral cavity, larynx, trachea). The patient breathes only a part of the aerosolized solution, the rest is dispersed in the environment or remains as a residue inside the nebulizer. The breathed portion is also divided into a respirable fraction, characterized by particles of adequate size to reach the area to be treated, and by a portion of particles that are deposited in the upper respiratory tract. The success of the treatment depends on the interaction between the patient, the drug and the nebulizer device. Sapio Life in the field of home services is able to provide an extremely wide range of quality services, products and accessories for aerosol therapy.
