Which is better for COPD patients, Albuterol inhaler or Combivent inhaler?
September 28th, 2009 | by admin |I have the disease COPD & use an inhaler called Combivent. I have a friend with the same disease who uses Albuterol. His Dr. says Albuterol is best, my Dr. say’s combivent is the best. Who’s right? Need knowledgeable opinions please!
Hiya, my mum has COPD and she has been given combivent and seretide. She has had a chest infection for the last two weeks and was given combivent to be used in her nebuliser too, altogether, she has been coping better with combivent.

Combivent is albuterol and ipratropium bromide combined. This works better because both the small and large airways are treated.
Stick with Combivent.
