Albuterol / ipratropium "At first, I loved it because I had been smoking for years with asthma. Am I bad? However, when I quit smoking before, my lungs returned to normal. Combivent was a miracle at first, but now that I've quit again, I still need to use it. I want to wean myself off but feel that there's something in it that requires or has made my body dependent on it, if that makes sense. So in the short term, it's great. Long term: well, I'm on here because I have my doubts. I have great insurance and was floored when I found out what some people have to pay."

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 for about 6 weeks. Already breathe freer. I noticed the difference after only two days."

Albuterol / ipratropium "Was prescribed this instead of albuterol. Had an exasperation 5 days after being switched to this along with Trelegy. Coincidence? Told to use 3 times a day after exasperation and then just as needed. I have a sore throat, could this be the cause? I used the nebulizer form because it's free from Medicare Part B."

Albuterol / ipratropium "I use DuoNeb every 4 hours and could not exist without it. I use it in a nebulizer and get immediate relief. I pay $0 for it as it is used in a nebulizer."

Albuterol / ipratropium "I have used it since 1998. It is the only product that works for me. Now they discontinued the product and use Respimat. The drug does not work for me at all. I sure wish Combivent was back."

Albuterol / ipratropium "If you have asthma and a chest cold, Combivent clears the mucus from your airways so you can breathe. I only gave it 9 out of 10 because it tastes awful!"

Albuterol / ipratropium "I was given this medication in the ER (breathing treatment). It worked wonders for me, it immediately opened up my lungs so that I could breathe. What a relief!!"

Albuterol / ipratropium "I love the Combivent Respimat. I'll admit it was a little different at first, but once the pharmacist instructed me, I was fine. I even like it better now than the old one."

Albuterol / ipratropium "Combivent is great, but the price stinks! The patent on the medication expired, so they keep changing the price of the delivery system to keep the price up."

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 quit."
