Common Questions and Answers about What is duoneb inhalation solution

duoneb

Avatar n tn You might try asking your doctor to prescribe Combivent/Duoneb. This is an already prepared mixture of Albuterol and Ipratropium. It is available as an inhaler, as well as a nebulizer solution. Although you can ask your doctor to be sure, Pulmicort should probably be taken separately.
Avatar n tn If you are taking Duoneb there is no point in taking Spiriva because Spiriva is related to the ipratropium that is a consitituant of Duoneb. Also Spiriva is extremely drying which may be why you are feeling so uncomfortable. To be using Duoneb five or six times a day you would have to be close to death. Obviously you aren't, so you can cut back without any problem. I have serious COPD and my use of Duoneb averages 3.5 vials daily. The big question is - how bad is your COPD?
Avatar f tn I am currently using Spiriva HandiHaler which I believe is not suppose to have any steroids but I keep getting Thrush in my mouth ! It is a constant problem even just using the Duoneb, and especially if I have to take any antibiotics. I'm, constantly having to take Fluconazole tablets after a round of antibiotics for candidiasis under my breasts and in my mouth. I always rinse my mouth after any inhalers or the spriva handihaler either with water or mouthwash. Usually both.
7748835 tn?1393868668 There is another reliever you can use with ventolin called atrovent (not sure it is in duoneb as I'm not familiar with that product). When my asthma got bad I was using both of them and found that worked much much better ..... Ventolin wasn't working on me either. Get the doctor to watch you take your inhaler as well to make sure your technique is good and you are getting medicine into your lungs.
Avatar n tn is it okay to use albuterol sulfate inhalation solution .083 % even if its out of code? I have real bad asthma and I got a serve cold and cant afford to go to doctor.
Avatar f tn t have what I call mild asthma symptoms all day long that interfere with your daily life. What happens is in the morning you can be a bit into the yellow zone, but by afternoon you're back into the green zone, so you're not really symptomatic anymore. Your doctor should try giving you stronger inhalers or get to the root of the problem, before moving onto regular doses of prednisone. As it is reserved for very refractory asthma.
Avatar f tn go on its own , its a serious problem, the best solution is combination of medication and therapy. take both of them and your life would change.
Avatar n tn Xopenex® Inhalation Solution (levalbuterol) is a short acting inhaled medicine, a rescue medicine, with fewer side effects than similar medicines used for the relief of acute asthma symptoms. It is not a medicine well-suited for long term, sustained asthma control. There are other classes of asthma medicines, called controller medicines and these do not have the same excitatory side effects.
Avatar n tn What are the effects from breathing clorox fumes when you have Hep c and liver disease already
Avatar n tn I was also put on prednisone again because of how well it worked with the pneumonia and was having very bad breathing troubles, and was also prescribed duoneb, a nebulizer solution that I guess is a combination of incruse and albuterol. She also switched me to breo and incruse, rather than the advair. I am now around 265 lbs. Over the past weeks I've worked my way down to being on 5mg of the prednisone a day, almost done with it.
Avatar n tn Hi, You should really discus this with the doctor treating your sarcoidosis. My understading of the disease is that is it an auto-immune disease with an overactive immune system. Therefore, you would most likely on the prednesone to suppress your immuse system. I could be wrong. If this is the case, I doubt you have options, but your doctor would know your situation best. Take care.
Avatar n tn P.S. Albuterol, if you are using it, is drying. That is another reason for using a mucolytic. I use an albuterol combination in a nebulizer. I can't do without it, but the B5 reverses the drying.
Avatar n tn I use Duoneb and Mucomyst in a nebulizer. Additionall I use natural antiinflammatories and an anti-histamine. I do not use any inhaled steroids as they caused bronchitis and sticky phlegm. They also caused adrenal fatigue and, after using that poison for eight years, I suffered a broken hip. Steroids cause osteoporosis, cataracts, and wreck your immune system. I am thinking of adding Spiriva inasmuch as Mucomyst has solved the mucus problem.
Avatar f tn thankyou,i am with contact of my doctor ,he said there is no solution for damaged vertibras,but calcium and vitiman d and alendronate sodium/cholecaiciferol tablets will help spine and bones from further damages but what to do with prednisones i cant stop them because of asthma and taking of them will damage other bones isnt there any other solution instead of prednisones, i know there is nothing accept these because my doctor told me:(
3926262 tn?1350439336 I am now of day 4 of my triple therapy and my nose is sooo dried out. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, what do you suggest? Nasal saline? Vaseline?
Avatar f tn My doctor never really explained except to say that I had bronchitis which turned into asthmatic bronchitis. I do not have a history of asthma. So what exactly is asthmatic bronchitis? Does this mean I now have asthma? Also I am using the inhaler when I feel shortness of breath or start coughing uncontrollably is this right or should I only be using it when I have chest tightness? Please help!

Avatar m tn I currently take advair and Spiriva medication.. is this the one and only mediacation,since there are no genericand here in the united states unlike the rest of the world which has a free market, we are controlled by the drug industry.
Avatar f tn They are not the same. Apnea happens on inhalation - Catathrenia happens on exhalation. There is no cure. People say it has no impact on sleep quality. I disagree. If you wake up gasping for air several times a night, that must have an impact. I have only experienced this for about a year - an am exhausted lately!
Avatar f tn While it is known that high doses, much higher than Advair™ Diskus® (fluticasone propionate and salmeterol) Inhalation Powder 500/50, of long-acting bronchodilator medicines, such as the Serevent® (salmeterol) in Advair™ Diskus® (fluticasone propionate and salmeterol) Inhalation Powder, can cause abnormal heart rhythms, this is rare.
Avatar n tn The “near fatal reaction” may have had a component of airway inflammation, that served to “tip-off” your asthma, much as can happen with a severe respiratory infection, such as bronchitis, resulting in what is called bronchial hyperreactivity, a feature of asthma. What you have experienced may or may not be asthma in the conventional sense but be more akin to a condition called reactive airways dysfunction syndrome (RADS). This latter may take weeks, months or longer to eventually subside.
Avatar f tn Are u sensitive to sunlight? I have no clue but if were related, I`d strongly advise u to see a dermatologist. (skin doctor.) Try to get someone who`s been practicing for 15-20 yrs. or more. They just know more & have seen more cases.
Avatar n tn It is not clear exactly what the problem is, but some believe that it is inappropriate use of the medication - ie using it as a rescue inhaler. The medications you are on are apropriate for COPD. You should discus the use of combivent with your doctor. It may not be needed on a scheduled basis anymore depending on the severity of your disease. Feel better.
