Dr. Evans Prieston answered

Specializes in Pharmacology

Nebulized Meds: This really depends on whether treatment is for asthma or copd. Often a brochodilator is used such as albuterol, xopenex, (levalbuterol) epinephrine, and others. Sometimes inhaled corticosteroids are used with the bronchodilator. For copd, drugs such as atrovent are used.

Dr Munshower and another doctor agreed
