Ah ok. So only saline in the neb. I do see a lot of people just using the saline in their nebs. I'm a bit puzzled why Albuterol isn't added to the neb to aid in getting the Albuterol deeper into the lungs. Many times, the Albuterol via neb is more effective than Albuterol via inhaler. One's lung function, per PFT, would determine that. Thanks for responding .... I'm learning a lot about what med regimens people are taking. 🙂

That’s so interesting. I meet with my infectious disease doctor next week, I will ask him. My PFT is surprisingly normal. But the minute I do anything, I get breathless. I’m also going to ask about the % of saline.
Thank you so much for your input!

If I need the albuterol (levalbuterol in my case) I use it before the saline to get the saline deeper into my lungs. If I am diligent with the saline, I need less levalbuterol - in either form.
