My insurance will no longer cover Spiriva or Pro-Air after the first of the year. The alternatives to choose from will be Incruse Ellipta and for rescue..Ventolin or Xopenex. Anyone here using these at all?? Looking forward to your replies.... Thanks !!
Rescue Inhalers
For those who use rescue inhalers (i.e. Respimat, ProAir, Ventolin...how often do you use and how does it help you?
My rescue one is salbutmol same as ventolin lately I've used mine alot up to 10 puffs a day if I have to I use my maintenance one twice a day
What Seems To Be The Best Rescue Inhaler, I Am Currently Using Ventolin.
I use Pro Air and it works ok...........this past January a generic version became available though I have not yet tried it. I will though when my current supply runs out. It's suppose to be much… read more
When Do You Use A Rescue Inhaler Such As Ventolin?
I have a Ventolin inhaler but I am not sure when to use it. Sometimes I do go into a very dry heavy cough where I can't get air in or out. Is that when I would try to take a puff of this stuff? How do you take a inhaler when you are in a coughing fit? When I'm having one of these coughing spells my granddaughter says "Gramma don't cough around me, your going to make me sick". I tell her I am not passing an illness to her, I am just coughing because I can't get the air out.....don't know how… read more
If you can, I use my nebulizer when Im having a rough time. I really dont know anything else that does. They are fairly cheap.
Can Anybody Tell Me What The Rescue Inhaler Is, My Doc Has Not Heard About It
I agree if the doctor does not know what a rescue inhaler is. Then time to look for someone else to treat you. I would start by getting a good pulmonary specialist.
Which Inhaler Do You Think Is The Best For COPD? Advair, Breo, Or Symbicort
Just my opinion only.... I read there has been no evidence inhalers actually help. In my case,4 so far harm. Going the homeopathic road which I believe will do more for me and prolong my life.
Best Maintenance Drugs Spiriva Or Symbicort
Yes, but I went back to it because it improved my lung function better then Trilogy. Anxious ? I thought it was my personality haha
Would You Rather Use An Inhaler Intended For Use Once A Day Or Twice A Day?
In your experience, what frequency has been more effective for your breathing?
I would not care how often just as long as I am able to breath that’s I think most important.
Ventolin I Am On Sterevent Twice A Day And Still Use Ventolin. I Have Developed More Mucus In My Lings. Is This Normal?
I have used Ventolin for about 4 years now. I started on Serevent evohaler 2 months ago. This has reduced my use of Ventolin but I seem to be getting more mucus my lungs now. Could the Serevent be responsible? Also my dormant arthritis has suddenly become inflamed. Is this just coincidence? Thank you for your help
Trimbow 87/5/9 & Ventolin Together.
Hi
I have been put onto Trimbow inhaler, which replaces my Spirvia and Sertide(?)
I take both twice a day regularly.
Can you please advise which I should take 1st.
I thought it was Trimbow 1st, but a friend saw me do this and said you must take Ventolin 1st.
Any ideas?
