General Information On Duoneb

Duoneb is a prescription medicine used for treating pulmonary respiratory conditions that cause difficulty breathing, coughing, wheezing, and other problems related to obstructed airflow. This drug is a combination of ipratropium and albuterol, which are bronchodilators used for relaxing the muscles of the airways so that the flow of air to the patient’s lungs is increased. You can buy Duoneb in the form of aerosol as well as fluid, which you can take through an inhaler or a nebulizer.

Side Effects for Duoneb

Some mild side effects of Duoneb include dizziness, headache, nervousness, insomnia, cough, sore throat, hoarseness, a stuffy or runny nose, dry mouth, unpleasant taste in the mouth, a tingly feeling or numbness, tremors, upset stomach, constipation or diarrhea, blurred vision, and nausea or vomiting. Most of these subside as your body gets used to the drug, but if any of these worsen or persist, you should contact your doctor without any further delay. Some serious but rare side effects of Duoneb include bronchospasms, which can be identified by chest tightness, wheezing, and trouble breathing, chest pain, a pounding, fast, or uneven heartbeat, swelling of the feet or ankles, burning or pain while urinating, and increased blood pressure, which can be identified by blurred vision, chest pain, seizures, severe headache, trouble concentrating, and numbness.

Precautions

Your doctor will not recommend you to buy Duoneb if you have an allergy to ipratropium, albuterol, or atropine, which is present in Sal-Tropine or Atreza. You should also inform your doctor if you have high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, congestive heart failure, seizure disorders, an overactive thyroid, glaucoma, kidney or liver disease, enlarged prostate, or problems with urination. To make sure that the drug is really helping you, your doctor will need to test your lung function regularly, and for that, you should not miss any appointment scheduled with your doctor. As Duoneb causes dizziness and blurred vision, you should not get involved in any such activity that calls for clear vision and complete alertness, such as driving a vehicle or operating a machine.

Duoneb Dosage

A single dose of Duoneb 2.5ml contains 2.5mg of ipratropium and 0.5mg of albuterol sulfate. Usually, a patient is given Duoneb 3ml vial 4 times a day via a nebulizer and two more 3ml oral doses everyday. Do not forget to clean your nebulizer after every use and make sure that it does not touch any other surface including your hands.

Interactions

You should inform your doctor beforehand if you are using beta blockers like atenolol or propranolol, diuretics or water pills like warfarin, MAO inhibitors like phenelzine or rasagiline, stimulants, diet pills, cold and allergy medicines, and ADHD medicines. Apart from that, you should also not take atropine, belladonna, dicyclomine, clidinium, glycopyrrolate, hyoscyamine, mepenzolate, methantheline, scopolamine, methscopolamine, or propantheline with Duoneb. As the drug causes dizziness, you should not take it with other products that cause the same effect, including antihistamines, anti-anxiety medicines, sleeping pills, antidepressants, anti-seizure medicines, muscle relaxants, narcotic pain relievers, tranquilizers, and psychiatric medicines.
