Expert advice for Salbutamol/Albuterol + Ipratropium
- Salbutamol/Albuterol + Ipratropium is a combination of two medicines that makes breathing easier for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
- This medicine is for inhalation only. The tablet should not be swallowed.
- It should be taken at the same time each day.
- It does not work right away and should not be used to relieve sudden breathing problems. Use your rescue inhaler to control sudden difficulty in breathing.
- Dry mouth may occur as a side effect. Frequent mouth rinses, good oral hygiene, increased water intake and sugarless candy may help.
- Gargle with warm water after each inhalation to avoid any fungal infections in your mouth and throat.
- Take the first dose of this medicine under medical supervision as it may cause wheezing or tightening of the airways (bronchospasm) immediately after using.
- Your doctor may regularly monitor your blood potassium level as low oxygen level in the blood (hypoxia) and medicines such as Salbutamol/Albuterol + Ipratropium can lower blood potassium level.
- Only miniscule amounts of Salbutamol/Albuterol + Ipratropium may get absorbed into the bloodstream after inhalation. Hence, serious side effects are unlikely.
