Waiting between nebulizing

Posted by happyhealthyme @happyhealthyme, Oct 28 10:01am

I've been nebulizing Ipratropium Bromide with Albuterol Sulfate followed by Sodium Cloride 7%, waiting about a half hour between them. But is there a need to wait, or could these solutions be nebulized one right after the other?

I just talked with our pharmacy professor friend and he said ideally, but of course, not realistic, is to wait 12 hours between complete nebulizing treatments. One complete treatment for me is Levalbuterol followed shortly after with Sodium Chloride. He said to wait at least 5 minutes between Levalbuterol (taken first) and Sodium Chloride. I do two complete treatments per day.
Our friend was also very influential in the American Lung Association.
