A mechanical demand valve for use with nebulizer and face mask for the automatic administration of antibiotic aerosols in inspiration, without waste of material, is presented. It is inexpensive, simple, yet sturdy in construction and operation and yields penicillin blood levels which are comparable to those of other methods that require training of patients and personnel.
