Which of the following is administered with the help of nebulizers?

Correct option is B

Ans. (b) Aerosols
Explanation:
A nebulizer is a medical device that converts liquid medication into a fine mist (aerosol), allowing the patient to inhale the drug into the lungs.
✅ Aerosols are the correct answer because they contain liquid medication that is delivered in mist form via nebulizers.
· Used in respiratory conditions like asthma, COPD, bronchitis, and pneumonia.
· Common nebulized medications include:
· Salbutamol (Albuterol) – Bronchodilator
· Budesonide – Corticosteroid
· Ipratropium – Anticholinergic

· Vitrellae is not a commonly used pharmaceutical dosage form.
· Likely an incorrect or outdated term.
3. Elixirs ❌ (Incorrect Choice)
