Can I nebulate with both Duolin and Budecort for post-COVID care? How would I go about using them together?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Duolin (Ipratropium and Salbutamol) and Budecort (Budesonide) can be used together for nebulization, as they complement each other in managing respiratory symptoms; for post-COVID care, use as directed by your doctor, typically 2-3 times a day, with a common regimen being Duolin 2.5ml + Budecort 1mg2ml, but adjust frequency and dosage based on individual symptoms and medical guidance.

Safety of Using Duolin and Budecort Together
- It is generally safe to use both Duolin and Budecort for post-COVID respiratory care. They target different aspects of respiratory issues: Duolin as a bronchodilator and Budecort as an anti-inflammatory.
-
Purpose of Each Medication
- Duolin: Combines Ipratropium Bromide and Levosalbutamol to relieve airway constriction.
- Budecort: A corticosteroid that reduces airway inflammation.
-
Recommended Nebulization Schedule
- Use Duolin first to open airways, followed by Budecort to reduce inflammation. Space them at least 15 minutes apart. Follow your doctor's prescribed frequency.
-
Administration Tips
- Ensure proper nebulizer use: place the mouthpiece correctly, inhale slowly, and clean the device after use. Monitor for side effects like increased heart rate or throat irritation.
-
When to Consult a Doctor
- Seek medical attention if symptoms worsen or if you experience severe side effects. Regular follow-up is crucial in post-COVID care.
-
Relevant Medical Specialties
- Consult with a pulmonologist or general physician for ongoing management and evaluation.

View allI'm a bit worried about some health stuff and hoping you can give me a bit of clarity. I saw a pulmonologist, and they did an X-ray. The ECG was normal, but it showed pulmonary ventricular contractions. My oximeter reading was 99 for oxygen and 123 for heart rate. The doctor said I dont have any breathing problems, but I am feeling short of breath and a tight chest. Could I have COPD? What kind of oximeter reading should a COPD patient have, or when should I be concerned about my breathing? I dont have any allergies, cough, or cold. Would really appreciate some guidance here.
take pantop 40mg for 3 days

I've been dealing with COPD and I'm having trouble with my breathing. I'm wondering if it's better for me to use a BiPAP machine with oxygen or should I switch to a BiPAP AVAPS? What's the difference and which one might be more helpful in my situation? I'm really looking for some guidance here.
Bipap is advised to the patient.Pulmonologist opinion is advised.
