Roger: I believe nebulizers can be sold without scripts because of themselves they are NOT medical devices. Just like you don't have to have a script to buy a medical certified oxygen tank. It's the oxygen you have to have the script for, just as it is the drugs that are used in the nebulizer that require one.

List: The Omron nebulizer arrived just in time for help treat the beginning of a sore throat (me), and incessant sneezing (my daughter). Sore throat "scratchiness" disappeared permanently after a few hours. Daughter's sneezing took longer to go away (12-24 hrs.) with several ups and downs in between, but very decidedly many more "downs" than "ups". We like it a lot. Question: How can they sell it without a prescription (THAT was the big question from my physician daughter as well. BTW, she actually apologized by flying off the handle about nebulizing CS -- good for her, but hasn't changed her mind). Roger
