    £100 is far too much, should be around £30-£50 for a half decent nebuliser, ensure you shop around. If you get stuck PM me.

    I spotted portable nebulisers in the sale at my local Lloyds pharmacy today for £29.99!

  • You should bear in mind that there are huge differences in the efficiency of different nebulisers (i.e. the amount of the drug in the nebuliser that ends up in the lungs). All nebulisers are fairly inefficient, but some more than others.

    I don't know much about the different nebuliser available, but it is quite common for hospitals to provide nebulisers for home use by patients. Although, that might depend on the condition being treated. For example, Cystic Fibrosis patients nebulise several times a day every day.
    I know that the Portaneb (mentioned by someone else), the Pari-Boy and the Ventstream nebulisers are commonly used by hospitals, but I don't know where you could buy them privately or how much they cost.

    When you do buy it, please make sure you check the cost and ease of a yearly maintainance check.
