10. When inhaling you should sit upright and relaxed. If you must be treated in bed, support yourself with pillows so that you are sitting as upright as possible. The design of this nebulizer kit enables its use in a tilted position. This is especially useful for those who wants to use the device while lying in bed. Always be calm and relaxed when you inhale. Breathe in slowly and deeply so that the medication can reach deep into the bronchial tubes. Hold your breath for a short time, and then breathe out slowly while removing the mouthpiece from your mouth. Do not breathe too quickly. Pause when you feel like having a rest. Breathe in:
