Abstract: A mouthpiece which is attachable to nebulizer is configured to enhance the flow of gas carrier through an aerosolization portion of the nebulizer. The mouthpiece has a hollow body attached to a drug delivery conduit. The drug delivery conduit has a drug delivery port in one end. The interior of the hollow body is configured to efficiently direct gas carrier flow into the aerosolization chamber of the nebulizer to allow better mixing of the aerosolized substance and the gas carrier before the gas carrier exits the nebulizer. A cap may be removable and replaceable from a hollow body to allow use of the nebulizer in both a breath enhanced setting and a ventilator setting. Further, a cap may be configured to reduce or eliminated spillage from the mouth piece.
