I've been using duolin respule directly for nebulisation without diluting it for about 15-20 days now. I'm starting to worry if that's okay or if there could be any side effects from not diluting it. Could this be harmful in any way? I'm really unsure about this and could use some guidance.

Taking Duolin respule directly without diluting it for nebulization can lead to potential side effects such as increased heart rate, palpitations, tremors, headache, nervousness, dry mouth, and muscle cramps. It is important to follow the proper instructions for nebulization to ensure the medication is delivered effectively and safely. To dilute Duolin respule for nebulization, you can use normal saline solution.
