Introduction
Combimist LD (2.5ml Each) Respules is a combination medication used to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD), a condition where the flow of air to the lungs is blocked. It helps in relaxing the muscles of the air passages, making breathing easier, and relieving symptoms such as coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath. The medication is for inhalation only and should not be swallowed. It is important to take it at the same time each day and not to use it for sudden breathing problems. Side effects may include dry mouth, which can be managed with frequent mouth rinses, good oral hygiene, increased water intake, and sugarless candy. Gargling with warm water after each inhalation can help prevent fungal infections in the mouth and throat. The first dose should be taken under medical supervision as it may cause wheezing or tightening of the airways. Regular monitoring of blood potassium levels may be necessary as the medication can lower potassium levels.
