ABSTRACT
In clinical practice, the aerosol cloud of nebulized drugs can be shaped in several ways: by using nebulizers that vary significantly in the characteristics of the aerosol cloud they generate; modifying the nebulization chamber by replacing its internal dispersing elements; adjusting the operating conditions of the nebulizer chamber; adding a holding chamber; and by using different formulations of the same drug in the same nebulizer.
