Nebulizers
A nebulizer turns liquid medication into a fine mist you breathe in through a mask or mouthpiece, which makes it easier to take respiratory medicine, especially for asthma, COPD, or bronchitis. We carry nebulizers for both adults and children, from plug-in home units to pocket-sized travel devices. Every nebulizer here is a prescription item, and most are FSA and HSA eligible. Use the guide below to shop by type.

Mesh vs. compressor nebulizers: which type is right for you
The two types we carry deliver the same prescribed medication; they differ in size, noise, and power.
| Type | How it works | Best for | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|---|
| Compressor (jet) | An air pump pushes air through a liquid-filled cup to make the mist | Daily home use, common medications, budget-friendly | Larger and louder; needs a power outlet (some models add a battery) |
| Mesh | A vibrating mesh screen turns the liquid into mist | Travel and quiet, discreet treatments | Higher cost; the mesh cap needs careful cleaning |
A third type, ultrasonic, is fast and quiet but is not suitable for every medication, so our range focuses on mesh and compressor units. Want help picking a specific model? Our guide to the best portable nebulizers compares top picks.
Do you need a prescription? Rx, FSA and HSA
Nebulizer medication requires a prescription, so these devices are sold as prescription items. You can upload your prescription at checkout, and we verify it before your order ships. Because a nebulizer is durable medical equipment, it is typically FSA and HSA eligible, so you can pay with pre-tax funds.
What medications go in a nebulizer?
A nebulizer only delivers the medication your doctor prescribes, such as bronchodilators like albuterol or sterile saline, which can help loosen mucus. The right medication and dose depend on your condition, so follow your provider's instructions and your device manual. A nebulizer delivers prescribed medicine; it is not a substitute for your overall care plan.
Cleaning and care
Clean parts keep your nebulizer making a consistent mist. After each use, rinse the cup or mesh cap and let it air-dry, then disinfect on the schedule your device manual recommends and replace worn cups, masks, and filters. Our full guide to cleaning your nebulizer walks through every step.
