Combivent Respimat (albuterol / ipratropium) "I have COPD, going on 7 years and have used the Combivent Respimat since being diagnosed. I was on oxygen at first, ask to be removed from it, the Combivent was directed to be used 4 times a day, or as needed. I only used it 2 times for the first couple of years. I was also put on a maintenance inhaler, Advair FHA that I didn't bother using, didn't seem to help. Suddenly I read that Combivent has a class action lawsuit because they were not honest with how many puffs for each inhaler. I have had good results with it, up until the last 3 months, I have no problem using it, except now about every other time I twist it, I can't get it to expel the mist, if I turn it a bit more, it expels it before I can get it to my mouth. ...take care all!"

Combivent (albuterol / ipratropium) "My upper gums are bleeding. So I am discontinuing combivent for a week to see if it makes any difference. Other than that I have been able to take deep breaths for the first time in years! I have only taken combivent about 6 weeks. Already breathe freer. I noticed the difference after only two days."

Combivent Respimat (albuterol / ipratropium) "Combivent is a horror of a drug. I cannot even inhale it. It makes me cough. It is too hard to use. You might as well throw respimat or whatever away and quick."
