Abstract

A medication-saving device for inhalation therapy comprises a tube joint mounted under a nebulizer bottle, wherein the tube joint has an opening. A control button is inserted into the opening. The high pressure air is prevented from leakage and enabled to siphon the medicinal liquid for generating the nebulization effect by push-pressing the control button. In addition, the control button can be shifted backward to form a gap for draining out some of the high pressure air so that the medicinal liquid can not be siphoned by the high pressure air. Moreover, the patient is enabled to decide to supply the medicine or not by controlling the control button. As a result, the waste of medicinal liquid, which is formerly sprayed out ceaselessly, can be thus avoided.

Claims

1. A medication-saving device for inhalation therapy comprising:

a nebulizer bottle; and

a tube joint mounted under said nebulizer bottle, said pipe joint having an air-supply tunnel for communication with the inside thereof, an opening for communication with said air-supply tunnel, and a control button for coupling with said opening of said tube joint so that a supply amount of high pressure air can be controlled by operating said control button.

2. A medication-saving device for inhalation therapy of claim 1, wherein an anti-leakage soft means is plugged between said tube joint and said air-supply tunnel.

3. A medication-saving device for inhalation therapy of claim 1, wherein an elastic device is mounted on said control button in said opening.

4. A medication-saving device for inhalation therapy of claim 1, wherein said control button has a shelter to open or close a gas hole and a communicating tunnel that communicate with said opening by rotating said shelter of said control button.
