I was given combivent Salbutamol/pratopium 2.5ml today by GP for use in home nebuliser & instructed use of 4 times a day..I have never used a home nebuliser before & I left surgery without asking or being advised if I should still use my blue reliever between times... I have used one phial in the nebuliser twice today so far with a six hour space between but I am still pretty tight & wheezy, am due to take my Seretide & Montelukast at 8pm then the Clarithromycin antibiotic at ten, planning on another nebuliser phial around midnight, six hours after the last, I don’t feel the same difference on home nebuliser as I did at hospital, and I had two treatments there with a 20 minute break between them, would I benefit better from using the home nebuliser like that with two sessions followed by two or leave them spaced out, also should I use blue reliever between times....help please, Thank you
