Using a Nebulizer

• If using a face mask, the mask must fit properly (right size) and tightly over nose and mouth.
• If using a mouthpiece, it must be between the teeth with lips closed tightly around it.
• Waving the mouthpiece or mask in front of the mouth will NOT get the medicine into the lungs.

• Rinse out mouth after nebulizing Budesonide (Pulmicort Respules).
• Give infants a drink of water. • If a face mask was used, wash face with soap and water to avoid skin irritation.
• The cup, mouthpiece, or mask should be washed daily with mild soap and water, rinsed in a vinegar and water solution, and dried. Never wash the tubing.
• Change filter on nebulizer compressor according to manufacturer’s recommendations.
