ipratropium with albuterol

hi, my question is can we mix albuterol, ipratropium, pulmacort together and the order is give these medication together by nebulizer.

I purchased the Omron Portable Ultrasonic Nebulizer and am using the vials of Albuterol and Ipratropium. I can only use 1/2 vial because more than that speeds my heart up too much. Can I save the last 1/2 of the vial for later use? Does anybody know of a more affordable way to get the medicine I need? I am paying out of pocket and this economy gets harder every day it seems like.

This is used as an alternative to Albuterol if the side effects are severe with Albuterol. This could also be used in conjunction with Albuterol, to relieve acute flare ups of Asthma. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.

I use Duoneb which is a combination of albuterol and ipratropium. You are making me wonder if I can manage with ipratropium alone. I have never tried it. I will ask my lung doctor. I use a portable nebulizer. With that I can take as little as I need (or as much).

It contains Albuterol, which sends a signal to the airway smooth muscle to loosen, and Ipratropium bromide, which interferes with the signal our cholinergic system sends to the airway muscle to clamp back down. So one relaxes, while the other stops the system from getting tight again.

About a year ago I developed what I thought was the flu. I went to the dr. Who gave me antibiotics. It went away for a few days but then came back. My symptoms were running nose, nasal drainage down my throat filling my lungs with gunk, and subsequent cough. After 3 more trips to my family Dr. and three more, and different antibiotics, I demanded something was wrong and I'm not taking any more antibiotics. I went to see an ENT and he said it was my deviated septum causing the problems.

Xopenx 1.25 mg and Ipratropium Bromide 0.02%.

There are many degrees of asthma. The albuterol inhaler should be kept with you at all times, even if you don't have an episode for weeks. Albuterol sulfate should not be causing any serious side effects. Drowsiness is not a common side effect, although I suppose there are some people that have all kinds of oddball effects from medication. As Tammy2009 stated, proper use of the inhaler is important. Most people don't use the inhaler properly. Shake it.

Yes! Spiriva is a long acting 24 hour broncho-dialator. So this means it will dialate your airway, make it bigger so air can pass thru it easier. Adviar: is a cortico-steriod. This means it is a anti-inflammatory type med that will take the inflammed part and calm it down. These are two very different medications. one holds it open and the other calms down the inflammed parts.

But you can use the Albuterol and the Ipratropium to keep the lungs clear instead of the prednisone for at least two weeks. Make sure you have enough solution on hand. You can always go back to the prednisone. I think you need at least a week off the prednisone. That is a half-____ guess.I wouldad that allphysicians treat with prednisone plus antibiotics.My opinion is this is going in two different directions.I am not going to go into "tapeting off".

Your doctor should have prescribed ipratropium bromide. Use the albuterol to open the airway, and three minutes later use the ipratopium bromide (Atrovent). Use the albuterol only when your symptoms come up, because the airways can become less responsive when this medication is over-used, and you want it when you need it. And follow the instructions, of have someone in an asthma clinic review them with you.

My son was diagnosed with exercise-induced asthma about a year ago. The only time he experiences problems is when he wrestles. He is 10 years old and has been wrestling since he was 5. This has been devastating to him, as he has always been a very successful wrestler, and practices 3-4 times a week. He is able to wrestle for most of the 1 1/2 min first period, but by the end of that time he is gasping for air and putting his hands over his head to try to get a breath.

I now use only natural anti-inflammatories and am more symptom free than I was using those poisons. The only medication I take is an Duoneb (albuterol/ipratropium) in a nebulizer. I have fairly severe COPD. The best remedy I have found for chronic bronchitis are large doses of vitamin B5. B5 is a mucus thinner and an anti-inflammatory. There are no side effects. I take other stuff as well and have just added some Chinese herbs (under doctor's advice).

In addition, if the cough, even in part, is due to asthma, the Combivent® Inhalation Aerosol (ipratropium bromide and albuterol sulfate) is inadequate therapy for asthma. There are times when cough is the primary symptom or the only symptom of asthma so a trial of an inhaled steroid would be warranted. If vigorous therapy for asthma does not reduce your cough, especially when combined with nasal washes and the use of a nasal steroid inhaler, then you should see an ENT.

Nebbed albuterol, sometimes with pulmacort and/or O2.

Several randomized, double-blind trials have demonstrated the therapeutic efficacy of subcutaneously administered omalizumab as add-on therapy in patients with allergic asthma.

I use a nebulizer (albuterol and ipratropium), and take natural anti-inflammatories and an antihistamine for allergies. If you get a peak flow meter you will be able to assess your condition (not the infection, of course) and your progress, or lack thereof.

ABG = arterial blood gasses CBC with Diff = complete blood count with differential (keeping an eye on the eosinophil count. Chest x-ray = to show the affected areas or may be normal Bronchial provocation studies = will purposly induce an attack to target the problem and reverse through drug administration. Some drug administrations: bronchodilator therapy = theophylline or aminophylline, beta 2 adrenergic agonist (albuterol or terbutaline).

I would like to ask if the ipratropium inhaler is available with the combination of salbutamol and what brand?

My asthma inhaler Combivent was causing the hives. I have no problem with albuterol; it was the ipratropium bromide in Combivent causing the hives. I now stay away from any inhaler (like Spiriva) containing similar bromide components. Also check meds you take for sulphur. I can tell a new med contains sulphur when my hands itch like crazy from hives. I am also IGA deficient (immunoglobulin A deficient). Which explains why I seem to catch every cold and flu going around.

But it did lead me into an alternative that works better and with less side effects. Benadryl works on the same principle as does ipratropium but I have never been told to use it. I can't tolerate Advair (causes angina) nor Albuterol (causes worse congestion and coughing). Spiriva was fine but it is too expensive and didn't work for any good amount of time. As a last resort I used some Benadryl.

I am using Duoneb with nebulizer 5 or 6 times a day. Also I just started Spiriva one time a day. I have started having a very tight feeling in my chest. I feel it is beause the two meds are contraindicated. If this is true, how may I wean from the Duoneb? My family physician has diagnosed me as having COPD. Thank you.

I think they gave me albuterol with ipratropium. Done some reading and read that it shouldnt be given to someone with a peanut or soy allergy. Anyways, about 6 yrs ago I started having labored breathing spells, but would most of the time cough up a white stringy pizza cheese looking sputum. it happened a couple of times a year and was minimal. However, since the straw spreading it has been quite frequent. I go to a pulmanoligist twice a year for maintenance meds and pft.

First, why are all these last dates in Nov? Is there any recent activity here, in this category? (hope so!--now it is!) I am an RN of 36 yrs and understand EKG's pretty darn well; however, now I experience couplets and PVC's daily. As the cardiologost said, unfortunately some people 'feel' theirs and I surely do! I feel weak at times, like hypoiglycemia makes one fell, plus this heat outdoors makes it worse for me.

Medications such as asthalin, trebutaline, steroids, ipratropium bromide, and chromolyn sodium can be tried. Please consult a doctor immediately. Take care!

Nicole - sorry I didn't see your original post, just read it now. GERD is very common with COPD and the reflux (even silent without the traditional heartburn) can cause significant coughing like you described. Perhaps you could try some OTC meds like Prilosec for 2-4 weeks and see if it helps..... Marji - COPD is a progressive disease. Albuterol is a 'rescue' inhaler to help with bronchospasm - which can happen with emphysema and asthma.

I have a now 22 month old son who was diagnosed last season with what we presume is asthma based on symptoms. It seems to be viral induced. This season came around and sure enough, when he got a cold it went straight to lungs (wheezing, SOB, coughing) We started inhaled steroid (budesonide), albuterol regimen again. Proved unsuccessful to resolve cough. Round of Orapred proved unsuccessful to resolve cough. After four months we consulted with Pulmonologist.
