Combivent Respimat Information:

Buy Combivent Respimat

Combivent Respimat is an inhalant medication used to prevent bronchospasm attacks in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Combivent contains two medications, albuterol and ipratropium. Albuterol works by stimulating the adrenergic receptors in the airways, which are greatly responsible for relaxing the muscles. Ipratropium works by inhibiting certain reflexes that can lead to contraction of the muscles in the airways. These two medications, in combination, help clear the airways and improve respiratory function. Combivent is not a rescue medication. If you are having a bronchospasm attack, use your quick-relief inhaler.

Combivent Respimat Directions:

Follow your doctors’ instructions exactly. Combivent Respimat is usually used four times per day. Do not use more than 6 inhalations in a 24 hour period. To use the inhaler, uncap the mouthpiece of the inhaler. Breathe out fully. Put the mouthpiece into your mouth and close your lips. Keep your eyes closed to prevent spraying any medicine into your eyes. Breathe in slowly while pressing the dose-release button on the inhaler. Hold your breath for 10 seconds, then breathe out slowly. Close the cap until you use your inhaler again. Carefully follow all directions for cleaning your specific inhaler device once per week. Keep track of the number of sprays you have used. Throw away the Combivent Respimat inhaler canister after 3 months or 120 sprays, whichever comes first. To use the solution with a nebulizer, Open the foil pouch and remove one vial. Empty the medicine into the chamber of the nebulizer. Attach the mouthpiece or face mask, and then attach the drug chamber to the compressor. Sit upright in a comfortable position. Place the mouthpiece into your mouth or put on the face mask, covering your nose and mouth. Turn on the compressor. Breathe in slowly and evenly until no more mist is formed by the nebulizer and the drug chamber is empty. Clean the nebulizer after each use. Follow the cleaning directions that came with your nebulizer.
