What is Duoneb

Ipratropium

The Generic name of this drug

Treatment Summary

Ipratropium is a medication used to prevent airway muscles from tightening. It is usually inhaled and has very little absorption into the bloodstream. Ipratropium was developed by Boehringer Ingelheim and was first approved by the FDA in 1986. A combination of Ipratropium and albuterol was approved in 1996.

Effectiveness

How Duoneb Affects Patients

Ipratropium is a short-acting medication that helps to relax the breathing tubes in the lungs, relieving symptoms like wheezing, chest tightness, and coughing. It usually takes 1-2 hours for the drug to take effect, and its effects last 4-6 hours. Studies have found that ipratropium can help to improve breathing in those with asthma attacks, but it has not been proven to be beneficial for long-term use or for preventing asthma attacks.

How Duoneb works in the body

Ipratropium works by blocking the effects of the parasympathetic nervous system on the airways. This system normally causes airways to become narrower due to muscle contractions, but when Ipratropium blocks it, airways can stay relaxed and wide. This also decreases the production of bronchial secretions. On a cellular level, Ipratropium blocks acetylcholine from binding to muscle cells, which prevents them from contracting and allowing airways to remain relaxed.

When to interrupt dosage

The dosage of Duoneb is contingent upon the diagnosed condition, such as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Asthma and Non-Allergic Rhinitis. The measure of dosage is contingent upon the mode of delivery outlined in the table hereunder.

Duoneb for Bronchi Muscle Spasm resulting from COPD

I appreciate the convenience of this treatment, but unfortunately it gives me really bad muscle spasms that are incredibly painful. I'll be bringing it up with my doctor next week.

Duoneb for Bronchi Muscle Spasm resulting from COPD

I had at least four exacerbations before being prescribed DuoNeb. My breathing problems were due to pneumonia, so I can't really say how these other patients have recovered. You can't believe all that they write, because everyone responds differently yo various types of medications. If a drug works for you, use it. If not try something else.

Duoneb for Bronchi Muscle Spasm resulting from COPD

I've been on DuoNeb since 2018 and it's really helped me a lot. Not only does it help me to get sputum up, but it also improves wheezing significantly. Plus, I don't have to worry about raising my heart rate or getting palpitations like I do with my stand alone Albuterol solution. The only downside is the frequency of doses.

Duoneb for Bronchi Muscle Spasm resulting from COPD

I was given this medicine during a bad asthma flare to see if it would work better than albuterol alone. The first few doses worked great, although I lost my voice. The last two doses actually made me worse. The first of these I took during an attack, and got much worse, chest was very tight, and wheezing increased. The second dose I took when feeling fine to see what would happen, and within 1 minute, I was having an asthma attack.

Patient Q&A Section about duoneb

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

What is DuoNeb solution used for?

"What is DuoNeb used for? DuoNeb is used to help treat airway narrowing (bronchospasm) that happens with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It is for adult patients who need to use more than one bronchodilator medicine. The active ingredients are albuterol sulfate and ipratropium bromide."

Answered by AI

What type of bronchodilator is DuoNeb?

"DuoNeb is a bronchodilator that is a combination of albuterol and ipratropium. This medication relaxes the muscles in the airway and increases air flow to the lungs to help with breathing."

Answered by AI

What is the difference between DuoNeb and albuterol?

"Duoneb (ipratropium / albuterol) is a combination of ipratropium, a short-acting muscarinic antagonist, and albuterol, a short-acting beta-agonist, that help you breathe."

Answered by AI

What is DuoNeb breathing treatment?

"DuoNeb is a combination of two bronchodilators, ipratropium bromide and albuterol sulfate, used to treat and prevent the symptoms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), including bronchitis and emphysema."

MoblO2 for Chronic Lung Diseases

18+
All Sexes
Stanford, CA

Many patients with chronic lung disease (e.g., chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or interstitial lung disease (ILD)) require supplemental oxygen (O2) at some point during their disease course. Practitioners prescribe O2 to patients with chronic lung disease in hopes of the following: 1) that it will limit desaturation events and combat breathlessness, thus preventing the frustratingly slow pace and numerous rest breaks patients are forced to adopt while doing even simple tasks; 2) that it will allow patients to be more active physically (perhaps increase their ability to exercise) and socially (perhaps leave the home more often); 3) that it will stave off putative complications of hypoxemia (e.g., cognitive dysfunction, pulmonary hypertension) and 4) that it will improve health-related quality of life (HRQL). However, despite the rationale for O2, and prescribers' good intentions, patients generally view O2 with frustration and fear - it threatens their HRQL, which is already impaired by having a condition that imposes itself on every aspect of their lives. Nasal cannulas and delivery devices call unwanted attention to patients when they are out in public. O2 users feel stigmatized and are often viewed as "smokers who get what they deserve, even if they never smoked a day in their lives" - or as disabled, sick or even infectious. O2 steals patients' independence, forcing them to plan their lives around it. The anxiety that patients and their caregivers experience around running out of oxygen, or not getting enough, immobilizes them and restricts participation in activities outside of the home. O2 disrupts the home environment, adding stress, and creating a burden for patients' caregiver-loved-ones who are often saddled with the responsibility of ensuring adequate equipment and supply of O2, and O2 is a constant reminder to patients they are living with a condition that could shorten their lives. O2 delivery equipment is typically heavy, unwieldy and intimidating. Different recommendations (e.g., insurance companies use 88% as a cut-off for SpO2, while many practitioners focus on 90%) make it confusing for patients, which almost certainly affects adherence. O2-requiringpatients are starving for things that can make their lives easier. An auto-adjusting O2 delivery device - one that automatically delivers the correct amount of O2 to maintain blood oxygen at desired, pre-set levels - would alleviate the need for patients to constantly (incessantly for many) monitor their peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) and adjust O2flow to meet the demands as exertion levels vary . The MoblO2 device is a battery-operated, light-weight, closed-loop O2 delivery device that houses a regulator (which attaches to compressed gas O2 tanks) and adjusts O2 flow to meet a pre-set blood oxygen level. A pulse oximeter is worn on the ear and transmits via Bluetooth to the device, which adjusts an internal valve to control flow on a second-to-second basis. The user sets the dial to the highest flow of O2 needed to meet the demands of activities they might perform (up to 15 liters per minute), and the device adjusts flow, up to the pre-set level to maintain SpO2 at a preset level (e.g., \> 90%). To conserve O2 supply in the tank - and to avoid over-oxygenation (which could be problematic for a small percentage of patients with the most severe COPD) - the MoblO2 begins to limit O2 flow at a SpO2 of 93%. The device can be manually over-ridden by the user, and should the battery run out - or the device fail for some unforeseen reason - the default position is valve open, so the users receive whatever flow of oxygen has been set on the dial. Given the substantial burdens of O2 on patients and their families, the hassles patients describe with having to monitor their SpO2 and repeatedly adjust the flow of O2 to meet their needs, patients and experts around the world have called for improvements in O2 delivery equipment. The MoblO2 is just such a remarkable improvement and a giant step forward in helping to ease the burdens of O2 on patients who require it. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of the MoblO2 O2 delivery device on a range of outcomes, including physical activity, amount (liters) O2 use; maintenance of adequate SpO2 levels; patient reported outcomes including symptoms, HRQL and satisfaction with the MoblO2 O2 device.
