What's medication is best for copd patients---combivent or flovent?

Depends: If the patient has a decrease in their lung function neither of these two medications would be the first recommended. If the patient has normal lung function with only occasional symptoms of cough or shortness of breath the Combivent (albuterol and ipratropium) would be recommended. Flovent is rarely the first mediction prescribed in apatient with copd.

All 3: Albuterol ipratropium fluticasone all 3 are useful they all act differently whatever it takes: 3 if severe 2 if moderate 1 if mild there is no best.

See below: These are 2 different medications, Neither of which are used as long term treatment for COPD. The combivent is good to use for quick acting relief, but isn't a maintenance medication for COPD - you need something long acting. The flovent is just an inhaled steroid, which is used for asthma. If you combine the flovent with a long acting bronchodilator, then you could use it for COPD
