I find this combivent easier to use and it seems to work better. I'm glad I changed.

DOES NOT WORK, positively NOT A RESCUE MEDICINE, TAKES TWICE AS MUCH TO GET THROUGH THE MONTH WHICH COSTS TWICE AS MUCH MONEY, AND IS TOTALLY USELESS.

The past few years, I have experienced that only new inhalers deliver working doses of product. When it gets close to 50% use, the product coming out is so weak, it is like inhaling air alone. Is there anything to take it’s place?

I have just started using Combivent Respirant. My chest feels on fire. My bronchial tubes - upper respiratory, are sore. Am 86 yrs of age, female, and there must be something better. My co-pay was $300, then will drop to $100/month.

My one complaint with Combivent is that each one does not contain 120 doses like it should. It will decrease 30 doses in 5-6 uses.

I have been taking this med for 5 years. I didn't realize this medication reduces potassium levels and can cause uncontrollable muscle spasms. That should be made more clear because I have had uncontrollable toe spasms at night for 5 years and haven't had a good night sleep in all that time. I stopped taking this med 3 days ago and the spasms stopped. I now can sleep without interruption.

Was using an inhaler with just albuterol but since I quit smoking 18 months ago I switched to this a month ago and I find it gives more breath than the previous inhaler.

I've been on COPD inhalers since 2008, finally settled on Atrovent and Albuterol for maintenance. Worked fine. A few months ago, the VA tells me that Atrovent isn't available anymore. Panic City. As a replacement I am given Combivent Respimat. Don't know what it is but I'm more short winded after taking it. Maybe delivery system. Constantly doing nebulizer treatments now. I'll take my Atrovent back.

I have had continuing problems with Combivent Respimat. It is supposed to have 120 doses for the month but has typically not lasted a full month. Last year 2017 it averaged less than 25 days. For May and June of 2018 it barely lasts two weeks and I am left without medication for the remainder of the month. Something is wrong with this product. I have talked to the company, sent them the defective inhalers but the problem persists.

UGH!!! ~ Have used the Combivent since 2005 and it did wonders for my asthma and chronic bronchitis. This new formulation of Combivent Respimat does nothing!!! It helps me as much as taking a drink of water would. Using my rescue inhaler constantly. Go back to old formula or go back to the drawing board on this one - UGH!!!

Calling this a medication is ridiculous. It does not work, is difficult to use and I cough as soon as I take it, so how much am I getting? Whatever happened to if it ain't broke don't fix it?

I previously used Combivent and I called it my life saver. It worked great. I could do anything from shopping the mall to mowing the lawn. Then they changed to Respimat. It is horrible. People that have trouble breathing need the extra oomph that came with the original Combivent. They decreased the doses per inhaler, raised the price and it barely works anymore. I had my doctor change me to Spiriva and it has made a great difference. You used it once a day.I use an inexpensive albuterol inhaler for emergencies. Too bad the government made it so much harder for the people that need these inhalers.Read More Read Less

I am much happier with the new combivent -- I don't have to shake this one -- and it opens up my airways much quicker.

I find that the new inhaler works much better for me. With the old one I had to use one of those tubes so I would make sure I received it. Those were hard to carry around.
