Emergency pack for COPD

I have started my emergency pack as I am having a bad time at the moment but can I still use my nebulizer while I am on this 6 day course.

Can't go to my regular doctor as I'm travelling

You should continue to take your prescribed medication, unless told otherwise by your doctor, when taking your emergency pack.

I'll still take my Symbacort and Spiriva but as my nebulizer is as when needed I just thought they might clash in some way

Your doctor would have known if there was going to be a conflict and advised you as such.

It's not a question as to whether you can use your nebuliser while taking your emergency pack. The nebuliser is just the delivery method. The question would be whether the drug you normally take in the nebuliser should be taken while on emergency meds. As 2greys says, Im sure your doctor would have advised you if there was a problem.

I use a nebuliser twice a day as regular medication. If i have a flare up or infection i take emergency meds and my normal medication.
