Choosing the Right Nebulizer: Comparing the PARI Vios ‘Go Green!’, eRapid, and Trek S Systems

Choosing the right nebulizer can be overwhelming, especially if you are new to nebulizing medication. With so many different nebulizers to choose from, each with its own design, technology, and portability advantages, it’s natural to feel a little lost.

Nebulizers are devices that convert liquid medication into a mist that you can inhale. Your doctor will provide some general information about nebulizers, but the choice of brand and model will be up to you. The nebulizer you choose should be efficient in delivering the medication you use, durable, and easy to operate. Depending on your lifestyle and travel routine, you may need a portable nebulizer that can be used on the road and at home. 

At Nebology, we help patients make informed decisions about the nebulizers they purchase. To help you navigate the seemingly endless nebulizer choices, we’ll compare three of our most popular nebulizer systems: the PARI Vios ‘Go Green!’, eRapid, and Trek S systems.
