Does anyone nebulize Budesonide and Albuterol?

Posted by pled @pled, Apr 3, 2023

I nebulize 3ml Albuterol and 2ml Budesonide twice daily. My pulmonologist told me I could just mix the two in the nebulizer cup, but the directions for Budesonide state that it should not be mixed. I am wondering which one I should do first, or does it matter? Thanks for your help.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the MAC & Bronchiectasis Support Group.

Just joined the Support Group for COPD. Not sure how to ask questions but here goes. My treatment has been changed from Trelegy once daily to the following: Symbicort - 2x day, Ohtuvayre/nebulizer - 2x/day, Dupixent Injection every two weeks. Anyone on this treatment regimen? It is a drastic change for me. I also have glaucoma in addition to COPD and worry about the impact of these medications on the glaucoma. Very anxious to hear from you.

According to NJH guidelines bronchodilator comes first ( albuterol xopenex, symbicort)then comes inhaled mucolytic ( saline pulmazyne) then inhaled steroid such as Flovent, pulmicort and then long lasting medication and finally inhaled antibiotics always LAST. This is what I was presented with by a RT at NJH.
