Hypertonic Saline and Abuterol mixed together in nebulizer

As of yesterday I’m adding 3% saline to nebulizer. I read it was ok to mix abuterol and the saline but I’ve never seen any posts where people were doing that. I thought I’d save some time but maybe that’s not possible with this disease. Does anyone mix these meds?

I can't help you from personal experience, alas. Have you tried using the search box at the top of the page to see if others have posted about this in the past.

All the best.

Thank you and Ergendi for your kind thoughts. I did find out that abuterol should be nebulized first to open the airways then the saline to get deep in the lungs. When mixed together they lose potency. Merry Xmas. It’s a coming!
