What is the difference between albuterol and long acting inhalers?

I discuss the differences between short acting bronchodilator inhalers (albuterol / salbutamol / Ventolin / blue inhaler) and various long acting inhalers. Long acting inhalers tend to have an effect for up to 12-24 hours. Some long acting inhalers also contain a combination of medication, either two different bronchodilators (medications to open up the airways) or a combination of inhaled corticosteroids (anti-inflammatory medication) and bronchodilators.

Alburtral has absolutely DESTROYED my nerves. It's the only thing that works for me. All of the others to calm down my asthma has worked then stopped working or ruin my taste buds.
At age 45, I'll be lucky to probably see 48.

What is being done to actually 'repair' the damaged lung, I have a large potato size (bull.....) in side my left lobe; is there anything that can stop this 'potato' from getting bigger?

Hi Dr Stefan, is there any issues using ventilon inhaler when you have idiopathic fibrosis , only used to stop coughing ,or breathlessness ?

[@mrishyb]

Thank you so much.

I developed allergy asthma, took doctors 2 years to figure my short off breath, wasn't only anixety, so after a visit at pulmonlogy doctor, he found it out and, after medication testing, I only need to use flovent 125 mg as an adult and albuterol as needed before exercise and other triggers, took me 2-3 months of experimenting with different medication, my lung function improved 27%
Do you know why when I increased my dose of flovent to 250 mg, I got a real bad dry cough? Like dry cough that was painful? It got better after lowering the dose to 125 mg, with the help of my doctor ofc. Also, do adults use 125 mg dose of flovent?

i'm not sure what the reason would be tbh. But sounds like your treatments are working well

[@carloskleiber8500]

i am not sure what is going on, if you are worried about a medical issue please discuss it with your doctor who can actually review you
