Combivent Respimat (albuterol / ipratropium) for COPD, Maintenance "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 Respimat (albuterol / ipratropium) "I was give combivent for bronchitis and it’s not the easiest inhaler to assemble. The mist chokes you when you try to inhale, so you don’t get any benefit from the drug. The only reason I can see the company developing the Respimat is because there can be no Generic for some time. I don’t know what they told the doctors but they (doctors) just need to write Rx for the Generic of Combivent inhaler."

Combivent (albuterol / ipratropium) for COPD, Maintenance "I frequently have noticed that the Combivent Respimat fails to dispense the medication after I have been using it! I have followed the instructions to the letter and in order to get it to work, I have to rap the unit on a table several times. This has become a major PITA! They really need to provide a better working delivery system. I have had this problem with it for over 5 years."

Combivent (albuterol / ipratropium) for COPD, Maintenance "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."
