Ok: The drugs are in different classes of medication. Usually patients take Combivent (albuterol and ipratropium) as a rescue inhaler along with their adviar (their maintenance inhaler).

See below: Do not stop your advair. The combivent is what is referred to as a rescue inhaler. This is taken only when needed. Continue the advair and use combivent if you have acute shortness of breath. Continue to try and get in touch with your doctor.
