03 December 2024
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a progressive lung disease that causes difficulty breathing. It encompasses conditions such as chronic bronchitis and emphysema, which are often linked to long-term exposure to harmful substances like cigarette smoke, air pollution, or workplace dust and chemicals.
In this blog, we’ll explore how nebulisers work, why they’re essential for COPD management, and how Medicare’s nebuliser range can support individuals with COPD in their journey toward better lung health.
The Medicare V1 Compressor Nebuliser is a robust nebuliser, ideal for home based, frequent use by adults or children. This highly effective nebuliser combines a short inhalation time with intelligent medication delivery thanks to its powerful compressor.
The Medicare V2 Portable Nebuliser allows you to comfortably deliver medication discreetly and on the go. Its compact size fits comfortably in the palm of your hand but is still powerful enough to effectively deliver needed medication for respiratory conditions such as a simple cough.

Symptoms of COPD:

- Fatigue
Risk Factors:
- Smoking is the primary cause, responsible for over 80 percent of COPD cases.

- Genetic factors: In rare cases, a deficiency in a protein called alpha-1 antitrypsin can lead to COPD.

What Is a Nebuliser?
A nebuliser is a medical device used to deliver medication directly to the lungs. It turns liquid medicine into a fine mist, which can be inhaled through a mask or mouthpiece. Nebulisers are often prescribed to patients with COPD, asthma, and other respiratory conditions because they allow for more effective delivery of medication compared to oral medications or inhalers, especially for those who have difficulty using inhalers.Medicare Nebuliser Range
