How effective is albuterol_/_ipratropium (duoneb) for treating emphysema?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
COPD: Studies show that beta agonists like albuterol combined with anticholinergics like ipratoprium work very well to relieve shortness of breath and increase exercise tolerance in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Smoking cessation is very important, please make sure you stop. During an exacerbation of COPD symptoms, seek medical attention immediately. Good luck.
