@vstankie Try mixing it 50/50 with 0.9% saline, then over time using less and less of the weaker one. It is perfectly OK to save the open vials, upright in a clean container, to use later so you don't waste them.

Albuterol should be used separately, before the saline, to open the airways. Some use the neb, others find using 2 puffs of an inhaler first, then setting up neb, putting away dishes, etc for 10-15 minutes before nebbing works - and saves time.

You might want to run these choices past your doc - by message if you don't have an upcoming appointment.

@sueinmn Thank you!
I will run it past my doc.
The only thing, my insurance probably doesn’t cover 0.9 %just like it doesn’t cover 0.7 %.
Where do you, ladies purchase those, if I may?
