Experiences with

Salbutamol / Ipratropium

In that review he reviewed my inhalers - he wanted me to shop the blue one and I think use Fostair more and up the dose of my Ipratropium Bromide aka Atrovemt.

Does anyone find that nebulising salbutamol (albuterol in USA) affects the colour of their teeth? I am 75, have been nebulising salbutamol and saline for over a year now, and see a change in the colour of my teeth from pretty ok to distinctly yellowish.

Since I've been using the Qvar inhaler, or even the salbutamol inhaler, it seems to make me start coughing and even bringing up frothy sputum. I have also a small amount of bronchiectasis in the middle lobe of my right lung. My husband said yesterday since starting the inhalers I seem worse.

I’m on ibuprofen and a few other meds (omeprazole, hydrocortisone cream, salbutamol inhaler, cetirizine) but feel like things are getting progressively worse: joint pain, rashes on my forearms and scalp, random bouts of exhaustion, gut inflammation, and even some eye redness and burning.

Another inhaler Salbutamol 100 mg 2 puffs 4X day either one don’t seem to do a lot

I did peak flow recordings for 2 weeks with a Salbutamol inhaler and the GP prescribed me the new inhaler based on the results. I haven’t slept more than a couple of hours a night for the last 3 weeks because I keep being jolted awake gasping for air.

Hi all- I was in the hospital over Christmas with influenza A/pneumonia. It was rough. While there initially I went into afib but resolved rest of stay and no problems. Pulmonologist who saw me there said didn't think I had heart issues was a reaction to being dehydrated and fighting off the virus.

I have also had my Salbutamol stopped as Bibecfo will replace this as well. I have been on Fostair as a preventer for about 8 years and Salbutamol/Ventolin for over 30 years so am a bit wary of change. I wondered if anyone else had had this change and how it went?

i have cough variant asthma. It acts up from cold weather or when i get a cold which goes right to my lungs.. and brings on my cough variant asthma s also gets irrated from my reflux. Happens maybe once a yr ad goes away with albuterol and a steroid. Now got a bad virus cold coughed violently

He Basically told me I don’t have asthma and won’t give me any more treatment despite me still unmanaged needing salbutamol x 8 a day. I am thinking of going privately and maybe complaining to the hospital.

My GP has so far had me undertake a Spirometry with Reversability lung tests, as a result she has prescribed a Blue Inhaler Easyhaler with Salbutamol and get much more exercise. That's it !!

Have been generally fine taking Beclometasone (Clenil) and Salbutamol when needed.

He has been given a salbutamol and frostair inhalers and has to measure his peak flow for two weeks.

I take Carbocisteine, Montelukast, Fostair inhaler and nebulise with salbutamol and saline. My breathing exercises give little relief and I have tried a flutter device.

the GP prescribing salbutamol if I bought my own nebuliser, she told me that GP's are no longer allowed to supply nebulisers or even the salbutamol anymore and that only the hospital can authorize their use.

Am taking Fostair twice a day and Salbutamol inhaler when necessary. I am worried about my croaky voice which varies a lot but sometimes so bad that I can hardly be heard. Could the inhalers be the problem? I do gargle and rinse my mouth after taking, but to no avail!!

Hi I have had asthma for years and always used Clenil & Salbutamol which worked fine until recently. I have recently had a couple of chest infections. Asthma nurse has now prescribed me Luforbec, I have only been taking this for a few days 1 puff in a morning 1 in an evening.

GP cut it down to half dose but after a week kept needing Salbutamol (tremors had stopped though). So back on Relvar last two days. Chest still feeling a bit tight - does a Relvar not start working straight away or does it take a bit of time to settle.

containing the drug Salbutamol - it contains a powder - not a gas).

Although it kind of feels like my lungs are opening up more and a bit like how you feel after taking lots of salbutamol in a bad attack. And similar side effects to that! Maybe I’m over thinking it and hoping these effects become less over the next few days.
