Can I Take Spiriva Respimat And Breo Ellipta Together
I was diagnosed with bronchitis about a week ago and was given albuterol nebulizer and some cough medicine. I do not have insurance so a friend of mine gave me the nebulizer and albuterol along with spiriva respimat and a breo ellipta inhaler. I read that those can not be taken together. Is there any sequence that they are ok to take together? Or should I just take one and not the other? If so which one should I take and which one is not as effective for bronchitis?
First, you have a diagnosis of bronchitis. Do you also have a diagnosis of COPD? If not, I wouldn't take either of the meds your friend gave you, because there's no indication you need them. Neither of the meds you were given is effective for bronchitis. They are both effective maintenance meds for COPD.
You can't take Breo and Spiriva together. Breo is a combination medication, and includes both a Long Acting Beta Agonist (LABA) and a Long Acting Muscarinic Agent (LAMA). Spiriva is just the LAMA. If YOU HAVE COPD I'd try the Breo first, because it has two of the three medications most docs would prescribe.
If you don't have COPD, take the albuterol you were given as prescribed and use the cough medicine.
I'd ask a Dr. I know you can take soriva & breo together they do two different things soriva opens up your air ways so you can breathe easier and breo is to keep you from having your lungs how can I put this it basically keep you from having an attack where you can breathe brain dead I know what I wanna say just can't find the word I'm looking for I'm not a medical person but I've been on all 3 I have stage 4 COPD so I do soriva when I get up and3-4 hrs later breo I only use my nebulizer when I'm having shortness of breathe and my rescue inhaler isn't helping but like I said I'd ask a Dr. I don't know how they treat bronkatious.
Just use the albuterol that’s what your doctor ordered. You weren’t digested with COPD
