Question
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
