Duoneb has irpatropium bromide and albuterol, both bronchodilators - each works a bit differently, so they are dispensed together. This makes sure the lungs are as open as possible to accept a saline neb that then gets the mucus flowing more freely. The neb is far more effective than an inhaler, at least for me.
