Inhalators are devices that help people with respiratory problems breathe better. These devices are also called inhalers, aerosol inhalers, or nebulizers. Inhalers come in different types, such as metered-dose inhalers, dry powder inhalers, and soft mist inhalers. Some people may also refer to inhalers as breathing machines, respiratory tubes, or asthma pumps. Nebulizers can also be called breathing treatments or nebulizer machines. Inhalers are commonly used to treat conditions such as asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, and COPD. Regardless of the name, inhalers remain an important tool for people with respiratory problems to improve their overall quality of life and breathe more easily.
