Hey guys, So I'd known for a long time that using a spacer with MDIs help improve medication delivery to the lungs, but today I learned how dramatic the effects are. Thought this would be worth sharing with y'all since these details might not be common knowledge. Maybe it'll come in handy sometime.

It all started with nasal drip that turned into a Cold back in October and fast forward now here I am. My primary doctor said the reason why I may not be healing from the cold is due my asthma. After a few weeks of no signs of improvement I went to Urgent care. Urgent care doctor then said I have as
I was diagnosed with allergy asthma today and my dr gave me this one as my everyday inhaler. Anyone have any experience with this one?
All of the verbiage/contents look the same, but has anyone started with AdVair, and been switched to Wixela? Does it feel/work the same? I have new insurance, and during my annual today my doctor put in the 1 year prescription (we discussed that I was currently taking Advair), and when I brought it
Hi Reddit, I am writing this post in hoping that someone here might have insights or suggestions. I am 25 years old, fit (I play football semi-professional), and have been dealing with asthma symptoms for the past three years. Despite seeing multiple doctors and trying a wide range of treatments, my
I've had asthma issues since my teen years and am currently using Wixela (fluticasone propionate and salmeterol inhaler), montelukast, and albuterol. In the last six months my family acquired a rabbit. It's become rather clear to me that my breathing is notably worse since the rabbit took up resid
Looking for pharmacy recommendations and/or experiences purchasing asthma medication (in my case fluticasone propionate and salmeterol or Wixela/Advair) from Canada to be shipped to the US. ​ From my internet research it seems that this isn't entirely illegal for personal importation and

Title Pretty much says it. Assuming no system supply issues. Educate me on why giving Levalbuterol would be better, and when. What I've found it they seem to be functionally interchangeable, but studies are not experience. Any reason to get one over the other?
I thought I'd share my experience in case it helps anyone! I've seen a few people asking about timelines so this is just another datapoint (and perhaps some examples of what *not* to do...) **Info:** Late 20s F. Active, healthy except for mild asthma (usually only exercise induced). Recently unemplo
In addition to asthma, I have major nasal allergy issues, such that I experience regular post-nasal discharge most days. I use a nebulizer with budesonide & levalbuterol 2x daily. Often I will cough up some of the nasal stuff, and it tastes or smells kind of like bleach. Anyone else experience t
After a mold exposure (and covid-19 a year before), my lungs have hurt (but no cough) in response to respiratory irritants (cleaning products, fragrances, chlorine) even in very small amounts. By this, I mean imagine taking out a wet wipe and your lungs feel like someone is stabbing you. It's been o
Hey everyone The title kind of explains itself, but I have a question about inhalers. I was taking Albuterol and it *used to* work fine for my asthma. That is, until the symptoms of dysautonomia started. I did have a few years where I stopped using the inhaler all together, so I didn't know about t
I work as a lineman in a communications company, one day while splicing fiber optic cable I had an inguinal hernia happen. At the time, my medications were bystolic, montelukast, a medicine for cholesterol, hydrochlorotiazide and 81mg aspirin, vitamin d and fish oil. I had constantly battled shortne
I never realized till now that levalbuterol is the R-enantiomer and not the S. I always thought the prefix of “lev-“ implied “Levo-“ meaning “left” but just found out that the S-enantiomer of albuterol is essentially inert. Why isn’t it dextralbuterol if it’s the R-enantiomer?
Everything in my nebulizer setup is brand new — compressor, tubing, and PARI cup — but each treatment still takes 20–30 minutes to complete. I’m using Levalbuterol and Ipratropium bromide together (standard doses). The mist starts out steady, but it just keeps going forever until there’s barely any
