I would love not to use the levalbutirol - feels like a lot combined with the symbicort! But my local pulmonologist as well as the Bronchiectasis specialist in Boston said the levalbutirol should be used first to prevent bronchospasms and to smooth the lung/airways and then to do the symbicort after the saline as it's more effective then. A case of talking to a different doctor, you'll often get a different answer!

@wsbme74 I am also on symbicort and neb levalbuterol before 7% saline. I tried using symbicort instead of levalbuterol but it did not work as well for me as the levalbuterol. My airways did not feel as clear. It makes sense to apply the inhaled steroid in symbicort to the lungs after clearing so I agree with your doctor in Boston!

My question about symbicort is can we the generic? It's quite a bit less expensive than the name brand.
