10 Best Nebulizers in the Philippines 2023 | Buying Guide Reviewed by Pharmacist

Omron's NE-C803 bridges the gap between tabletop and portable nebulizers. While still best when used on a flat surface, its small size and light weight make this easier to carry than its bulkier counterparts. In addition, it uses a low-noise compressor to achieve a low 45-decibel working noise, replicating the quietness of handheld nebulizers.

It does all of this without sacrificing its nebulization speed. In fact, depending on the medicine, your treatment can last somewhere between 6 to 8 minutes only! If you want the benefits of both tabletop and portable designs, this product is for you.

Over the course of a treatment, it's inevitable to change how you breathe. This can cause some medicine particles to not be inhaled, especially for nebulizers that rely on the patient's breath. Fortunately, FeelLife takes on this problem by fitting a sensor and a multi-angle spout into their nebulizer, automatically adjusting the mist thickness and particle size depending on your breathing.

You can also manually tweak it with just a press of a button! The Air Plus III incorporates other quality of life features to make treatment more comfortable. For instance, it has a self-cleaning mode to avoid blocking the spout. In addition, it also has an auto-shutdown feature every 10 minutes to prevent overdosing.

Some children get anxious during treatment sessions, especially when the nebulizer sports a bulky, industrial design. GetWell circumvents this by fitting all the parts of the machine into an adorable and lightweight cow head design. With this, your kids are more likely to be excited about their treatment.

Its nebulizing abilities are nothing to sneeze at, eitherーliterally! Because of its large particle size range, this product can address ailments from the top, middle, and lower respiratory tracts. In addition, it does this at a comfortable 55 decibels for the comfort of everyone involved.

We do understand, however, that leaving your kid with a nebulizer can be scary. Fortunately, you can rest your worries because this also supports child-friendly features, such as a one-button operation, overheat protection, and auto-shutdown, so you can get that well-deserved parenting break.

Boxym's N2 challenges the competition with features not normally seen in nebulizers. Most notably, it has a self-cleaning function that prevents the tube and mask from clogging. Additionally, it uses cold laser technology to prevent the machine from heating. As such, it can accommodate medicines that are sensitive to heat.

It also supports a liquid detection feature that prevents the machine from booting up without medicine. The same technology is used to optimize its mist production depending on whether you're using the mask or the mouthpiece.

Omron's Virtual Valve Technology allows you to get the most out of your medication. By re-depositing unused drug particles into the chamber after exhaling, this machine leads to lower medicine wastage. 

Ultimately, this also means that the medicine that enters your body will be higher compared to other products. That, along with its high nebulization rate, means that you'll have a faster treatment overall.

Just note that some users have expressed that the included masks can be heavy and restrictive. Fortunately, you can always fit third-party masks that are more comfortable or use the mouthpiece instead.

With a working noise close to 0 decibels, the Amuse-E Life offers one of the quietest treatment sessions out there. Additionally, its smooth grooves fit excellently in your palms, further highlighting the comfort of its lightweight design.

It can also adjust the thickness of mist with a press of a button. With this, it's better able to distribute medicine depending if you're using the mask or the mouthpiece. However, its single-button system can be confusing for first-time users, so we suggest reading through the instructions first.

Cough Off's Portable Nebulizer targets ailments across the entire respiratory tract. From sinusitis to asthma, this one is your go-to product to breathe more freely. Plus, its medicine cup can nebulize solutions as low as 0.5 mL, making this inclusive to small doses.

However, unlike other handheld nebulizers with self-cleaning features, this one needs manual maintenance. Fortunately, it is not only easy to take apart, but it's also easy to disinfect. Just push the cup release button, separate the pieces, and soak the mask in a water-vinegar solution. Reassemble, and it's good to go again!

Using a fully ultrasonic system allows the MY-520A to process different solutions easily. In fact, it's advertised to be capable of nebulizing medicine, humidifier oils, and aromatherapy alcohol. However, we still advise against mixing toxic chemicals if you're going to use it for medical needs.

Instead, its abilities shine best when used to complement your treatment. For instance, you can nebulize a sterile saltwater solution if you're suffering from phlegm. Similarly, the same solution can relieve breathing issues of those with bronchiolitis.

Unfortunately, without a mesh cap to control particle size, this product tends to create drug wastage. This also makes it less efficient as some particles will be ineffective depending on the part of the respiratory tract they end up in. As such, when using this device, it's best to prepare extra medication.

Philip's Respironics is your pick if you want a plug-and-use product. Just put the medicine in, flick its single switch, and you're good to go. While its lack of customization may not be ideal for those who take multiple medications, this is perfect for those with an already rigid treatment routine.

Its sleek and stylish design also makes it inconspicuous even when left in the open. Just note, though, that it's not the quietest when in use. Reaching noises as high as 58 decibels, this product doesn't really offer quiet, soothing treatments.

For an entry-level product, Indoplas' Cardinal Compact Nebulizer provides adequate nebulizing capabilities. You can see this through its steady stream of mist, designed to easily enter the body through inhalation.

Some also prefer its one-button design for simplicity. This makes it a great product for children and the elderly, as they won't have to navigate through bells and whistles to get the machine working.

It does, however, get loud. A noise level of 60 decibels means that bystanders won't have a relaxing time when this turns on. Additionally, while it supports 0.5 to 10 microns, the rate it produces these is inconsistent. This can lead to a longer treatment time since the medicine is not being optimized for just one area of the respiratory tract.
