Act Now DME responds to the needs of every patient by providing the type of oxygen system most appropriate for his or her lifestyle. Oxygen concentrators, stationary and portable liquid oxygen systems, and high pressure cylinders are available to coincide with each physician’s prescription—and with consideration of each patient’s activity level.
Regular monitoring of how closely each respiratory patient follows the prescribed course of treatment helps Act Now DME ensure patient compliance with liter flow and hours of use. It is this regular monitoring that increases the likelihood that patients will receive the maximum benefit from prescribed therapies, since program modifications can be made quickly to accommodate changes in lifestyle and disease condition.
Nebulizers—which aerosolize respiratory medications for direct deposition in the upper and lower airways—are offered for use in the treatment of many diseases, including asthma. Act Now DME offers electronic and portable nebulizers to correspond with each patient’s needs and lifestyle.
Act Now DME’s Reliant Pharmacy provides respiratory medications as prescribed by the physician, delivered directly to the patients’ home.

Sleep disorders can impact one’s health, mood and energy levels. Recommended treatments for sleep disorders are the Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP), as well as Bi-level devices, which provide airflow at prescribed pressures during sleep and help maintain open airways in patients suffering from obstructive sleep apnea.
Most patients utilizing CPAP report better quality sleep, more energy, increased alertness, and improved cognitive function. But for treatments to be effective, patients must comply with their prescription. It’s not difficult with Lincare since our professionally-trained staff helps patients maximize compliance through careful instruction and follow-up monitoring.
