What does unit dose mean?

Unit dose means your medication will come in pre-mixed, easy to use vials. No mixing, thus eliminating the possibility of errors when taking a nebulizer treatment.

What are the possible side effects from taking my nebulizer treatments?

A Fitzsimmons pharmacist will contact you to discuss possible side effects and drug interactions. The pharmacist will ask for a list of the other medications you are taking as well as inquire about any allergies you may have. A medication information sheet is also included in every shipment you receive.
