HI ECHO I've been taking ATrovent along with VEntoline one after the other for a long time, sometimes it works sometimes like today it does'nt! Ihave them both in inhalers and again in nebuliser form where they are mixed togather. I also take Spiriva and Budesnonide but I don't really know whatworks for me. Some days my breathing is not too bad and the next day its crap although I have'nt done anything different.. Can't make head or tail of it . If I can be ofany help let me know.After nearly 15 years of COPD (and the rest)I've tried and tested most medication. AT least I'm still here! Best wishes CaroleAtrovent

    :roll: Hi Echo, now why did I think u were a man! Apparently one can have COPD in their 20s so you are not too young. Do you know if it is mild,moderate or severe. Your Fev1 will give you a good idea. You need a spirometry test for this. :lol: Let me know if I can be of further help anytime. RegardsCARole
