• If possible, hold the breath for 1-2 seconds unless directed otherwise by the physician and then slowly exhale through the nebulizer mouthpiece or mask
• Holding the breath for 1-2 seconds after inhaling the medication allows for optimal absorption of medication in the lungs
• Repeat this breathing pattern for the entire treatment
