About Combivent

Combivent is a combination of two different types of bronchodilators. Combivent is generally introduced after the patient finds that their original bronchodilator is not providing sufficient relief.^{[1] [2] [7]} Combivent is an aerosol that uses CFCs as a propellant. As a result, Combivent has been banned by the FDA as of December 31, 2013.^[8] It will be replaced with Combivent Respimat, a propellant-free inhaler recently approved by the FDA and available in July, 2012.^[9]

Combivent's effects last for four to five hours, and patients are warned not to exceed the dosage or schedule prescribed by their physician. The usual recommended dosage is two inhalations four times a day, although some patients may use up to 12 inhalations in a 24-hour period. Combivent's safety for children has not been established.^[2]
