My dr gave me a free trial of combivent respimat inhaler for what we think is probably asthma. when i google it its for copd. is this a mistake?

Not a mistake: Hi, Combivent is a combination medicine of albuterol and ipratropium and can be used for acute asthma attacks as well as acute copd attacks. It works by helping the lung musculature relax and open. Good luck, I hope that helps!
