Introduction

Human interferon α1b is an immunomodulator primarily indicated for patients with impaired immune function. It can also exert its therapeutic effect via nebulization. Prior to nebulization, the oral cavity should be cleaned to remove any foreign material. Next, the appropriate volume of medication solution for nebulization should be prepared, and the patient should assume a comfortable position before initiating nebulization. After nebulization, the patient should promptly rinse the mouth.

Human interferon α1b is an immunomodulator used primarily in patients with impaired immune function. It can be administered via nebulization, as follows:

1. Clear oral secretions and food residues before inhalation.

2. Prepare the nebulization solution: 　　① Adults: 50 μg human interferon α1b + 2 mL sterile water for injection; 　　② Children: 2–4 μg/kg human interferon α1b + 2 mL sterile water for injection.

3. Assume a comfortable position; place the nebulizer’s outlet close to the mouth and nose, and inhale deeply to ensure adequate delivery of the medication to the bronchi and lungs.

4. Rinse the mouth after inhalation to prevent drug accumulation in the pharynx; if using a face mask, wash the face to avoid accidental drug exposure to the eyes.
