CPAP for sleep disorders

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) can be managed effectively using continuous positive airway pressure, or CPAP. For patients with OSA, a CPAP device delivers a prescribed amount of air pressure through a mask placed over the nose. This airway pressure acts as a splint, keeping tissues in the throat from blocking air movement in and out of the lungs.

Benefits of CPAP treatments include:

  • Breathing interruptions and snoring no longer occur
  • Sleep patterns return to normal
  • Patients feel more rested and alert during the day
  • Adequate blood oxygen level may be restored, reducing the serious health risks associated with OSA

Nebulizer support

A nebulizer creates a mist from your prescribed liquid medicine, which is placed in the medicine cup. These droplets are then small enough to allow them to be delivered deep into your lungs through a mouthpiece/mask each time you inhale.

Walgreens provides nebulized equipment and will provide you with complete instructions on the proper method for placing your medicine in the equipment and how to properly inhale the mist. We also will instruct you on how to clean your equipment between treatments. To get the most benefit from your medication, cleaning your equipment properly is just as important as taking your treatment as prescribed.
