I find that I feel much better for longer by doing this as it opens up my airways
I have found that having a relationship with a pharmacist is very imoortant as they are,the med experts. A number of times my pharmacist has question my doctors on the dose and if other meds,would be more effective.
You are right
@A MyCOPDTeam Member I am on Spiriva once a day, Symbicort twice a day and Ventolin when needed as well as the nebulizer every 4 hrs. I space mine apart so I don't overdue it at one time. Today I had to use the Ventolin twice so far. Feeling better now. Time for my Symbicort now then at 8pm last nebulizer treatment for the day. I would Ask the Dr or pharmacist if you can take them together. Have a good evening.
In my opinion, what you do to open your airway so that another medication works more effectively is pretty much your decision. I take Combivent/Respimat by inhaler shortly before taking Symbicort. I just think both meds do what they're supposed to even when not taken close together. Chances are you use Ventolin at times when Anora Elipta isn't indicated at that time.
Thank you for your answer Linda.
