H2 Agonist is a drug which reduced stomach acid...you can google it.
The new inhaler is a LABA/LAMA inhaler for COPD called Anoro. I was not told it would reduce mucus but some side effects are drying ones so I am wondering ifcthat might result.

@narelled23 You are correct. That medication is causing the mucous to become dry in your lungs thereby not being able to bring it up. Hopefully the 7% saline nebs and ACTs will moisten it enough to bring it up. It’s a difficult balance when the medicine is necessary to help you breathe properly.

I believe it is H2 Antagonist? At any rate, I am already on one. Thanks for responding. I hope that the new inhaler works for reducing mucus. Let me know!!
