Confused

[Leanne129]

This is my first post.

I know it was explained to me by the Dr. when he gave me an emergency supply for COPD but sometimes you just dont take it in and this was one of those times.

When do you use the steroids on their own.

When do you use the ABs on their own

And when do you use both together.

Thanks a lot.

This leaflet explains how you can self manage an exacerbation of your

COPD at home with steroids, antibiotics and your reliever inhaler.

hi i was told by the doc that you use the steroids at the same time as your antibiotics as they enhance the antibiotics because i also wondered so i asked they told me the steroids on there own do nothing they must be used with the ABs hop this helps
