Experiences with

Atrovent

I take Relvar 188 but I still need to take Atrovent sometimes 2 puffs twice a day. Is this normal. I am 66 years of age. I just feel my breathlessness is getting worse but yet my consultant and GP tell me my chest is clear. I suffer from anxiety so could this be the cause of my breathlessness.

IPATROPIUM BROMIDE () Typically given in hospital in acute situations, rarely atrovent nebs can be given at home. This is a SAMA (short acting muscarinic antagonist), so LAMAs (like spiriva) should be stopped if using them.

I have been in 50 mg prednisone for 3 days 4 hourly ventolin , Atrovent , Cbd oil , Breo air is my preventative How long will it take Prendisone to offer any relief ? What would they do in hospital to help ? Would buying a nebuliser tomorrow help me ?

What’s the maximum dosage of ipratropium ( Atrovent ) you can take in 24 hrs ?

Hi everyone... I'm new and am just really panicking that I have tinnitus. Been to Drs twice and ER and went private to an ENT consultant this week. As soon as I mentioned a"hum" in my left ear (right ear is fine) he said it was tinnitus. Was actually hoping there was fluid so I could have that drained

What dose of nebuliser are you on , you can have 5mg salbutamol & 500 micrograms atrovent Also how much prednisolone? But if you are not responding to the medication, you perhaps need to go to hospital , before you get any worse. Hope things improve xxx

I was taking the Relvar every day(which I still do) but instead of taking the Atrovent inhaler which I could be taking 6-8 puffs a day, I take two nebules. Does this seem weird to anyone. I feel so much better in myself and my anxiety has diminished quite a bit.

I’m taking nebuliser salbutamol and atrovent Symbicort inhaler. 40 mg of pred. Co amoxyclav 3 times a day and carbocysteine. I’m still very short of breath and wheezing. My chest is just so tight. And I’ve got a terrible cough. I feel a bit afraid and weepy.

I take Fostair, Qvar, Seebri and ventolin, and have Salbutamol, Atrovent and saline nebules. Many thanks

2 hourly nebs through the night, on the chairs (so no sleep, having got up at 6am wed, and also no dinner as teatime was spent in ambo), stretched it to 4hrly by after my 4am, and FINALLY saw a medic at 9.30am who agreed to admission, decided to up pred to 40 and prescribe 2hrly salb nebs and 4hrly atrovent

Last week I’d had three attacks in the space of a week that resulted in A&E treatment with salbutamol, atrovent, hydrocortisone, magnesium and pred tablets. I’ve had an attack free week and have finished the pred now and the ‘cold turkey’ has now set in.

Yet more nebs, plus atrovent and hydrocortisone and he keeps saying ‘not sure if you need adrenaline yet... hmmm let’s keep it in reserve’ (tell him I don’t need as never had and I’m not that bad... it’s just a chest infection 😅).

And 3 atrovent daily. Plus symbicort 4 times per day. I'm a bit worried about having more salbutamol. Has anyone increased nebulisers , say to every 2 hours or so and been ok?

The paramedics were amazing and gave me atrovent? And IV hydrocortisone before whisking me to a+e. When I was there i had 3 lots of ipratropium and salbutamol nebs over a period of a few hours. They kept a good eye on me eventually let me home at 2am.

Hi About to go on atrovent on seretide 250 and montelukast (which really hasn’t worked for me) just like your thoughts if anyone has or is on atrovent and if it helps Thanks

He has now been increased to Seretide 500 & given atrovent inhaler & a nebuliser. How often should he be using the atrovent nebules rather than the inhaler? It just arrived but he wasn’t given much guidance on how often. (Got a few days before next appointment).

Nebs are not really working as I still feel the asthma symptoms after taking bricanyl and atrovent. Maybe it's too soon to see a change so I'm really hoping that the pred will work and that I will finally get to move on from this nightmare and resume a normal life.

I've also had some nebs at home of bricanyl and atrovent but it doesn't seem to be as effective as the one I had at the hospital. Thank You

I’m on symbicort for my asthma and my pulmonary specialist gave me a script for atrovent which I now take daily. I believe that has helped a bit. I feel that I’m in the early stages and drs can’t diagnose yet. I’m petrified as I have two beautiful young girls 2 & 5 and I need to be around!

QQ: I’m on Atrovent and have considered switching back to Spiriva for a while. I would like to. However, I’m on Atrovent because it’s more flexible dosage-wise, allowing me to increase my dosage when needed, reducing visits to A&E.
