Detailed explanation-1: -Combivent Respimat (ipratropium / albuterol) is a combination inhaler containing two medications that help you breathe. Ipratropium is a short-acting muscarinic antagonist (SAMA). Albuterol is a short-acting beta-agonist (SABA).
Detailed explanation-2: -COMBIVENT RESPIMAT (ipratropium bromide and albuterol) is indicated for use in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) on a regular aerosol bronchodilator who continue to have evidence of bronchospasm (airway narrowing) and who require a second bronchodilator.
Detailed explanation-3: -Albuterol is an example of a short-acting Beta-2 agonist. See Figures 5.11 and 5.12 for images of an albuterol inhaler and nebulizer.
Detailed explanation-4: -Long-acting beta2-agonist (LABA) indicated for long-term, once-daily maintenance bronchodilator treatment of airflow obstruction in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), including chronic bronchitis and/or emphysema. LABAs act locally in the lungs as bronchodilators.
