Giving Medicines  >  Nebulizers

Safety Tips

  • Always give any prescribed medicine on time.
  • Never store a dose of medicine in the nebulizer cup for later use.
  • Always rinse out the nebulizer cup after each use. Then wash with soapy water, rinse and dry at the end of each day.
  • Discard the vinegar solution after cleansing the pieces of equipment. Always start with a clean, unused solution.
  • If you plan to reuse the eye dropper for drawing up the medicine, clean it after each use with warm water and allow it to dry before using it again.
  • Never store nebulizer parts until they are totally dried. Wet equipment may become the site for germs and mold to grow.
