no, an inhaler is a handheld device, while a nebulizer is larger. They can both deliver the same medications, but a nebulizer delivers them in constant stream while an inhaler only does puffs.

Does ProAir inhaler react with Nebulizer Albuteral?
Albuterol is the active ingredient and can be used either with an inhaler or through a nebulizer. it will do the same thing but just through a different mechanism.

What is the best asthma treatment for children under 3?
As a mother of a child who needed a nebulizer, I prefer to use a nebulizer, on a young child, as opposed to an inhaler. Prior to making any decision, I would discuss the issue with your daughter's pediatric doc. If he tells you it's personal choice, I can assure you that I found the nebulizer easier than I would the inhaler. The inhaler is more of a "puffer", meaning the child would have to inhale at just the right moment to properly receive the intended medication. With a nebulizer, the medication is consistently flowing. Beyond that, kids can hold onto the nebulizer, and "take" their medicine themselves (please do not allow unattended). My son found this fun, and took his necessary "medicine" without any fuss.
