User Reviews for Combivent Respimat inhalation

PLEASE give us back the old combivent.

Compared to other inhalers I have used, this is way too complicated.

I did much better with the previous combivent inhaler! I do not get the relief i used to get from the old combivent inhaler. Stop worrying about air pollution with us. Give us back what works for us!

I have have had Asthma for years. I am a productive person in society and give back to my community. Why is my government trying to take the only medication away that helps some of us. We need the old Combivent!!! There is No substitute!!! The new Respimate does not work. The government should crack down of diesel exhaust and other things that are causing us to have asthma. Give Combivent a waiver for heavens sake!!! I called the manufacturer to voice my opinion. Please leave your comments and lets get this changed. ThanksRead More Read Less

This drug should have gone generic, and never changed the formulation or delivery system. I'd been using the combivent inhaler for YEARS with no issues. Typically one puff in the morning, and maybe one at night, but very infrequently. This new "Respimat" inhaler offers LESS total doses, the spray is weak, and it does not work as well, leaving me wondering what I can do to rectify this. Being more dependent on a medication in modern society, is counter productive. With this new formulation, the though of mistakenly leaving the inhaler at home and not having access to it is enough to set off an asthma attack. Government, big pharma ... not sure who to blame on this one, but as usual the consumer, citizen and patient LOSES!!!!!!!!!!!Read More Read Less

I have had COPD for a number of years and have been on maintenance inhalers along with Combivent for control of my disease. Whoever came up with this new "dispenser" evidently has never had COPD, as this is the most inconvenient sprayer, especially for use as a rescue inhaler. It does very little to help me and I am very disappointed that this is the only option for me at this time. I hope the company will reconsider this "new" device and come up with something better for all users. Symbicort and ProAir are still using the puffer sprayers - why did Combivent need to change??? This new product is also more expensive (of course.) Someone please help us!!!Read More Read Less

Lose most of it out the air vents om the side. When you can't breathe you can't inhale this. My breathing has worsened and have thrush because of it. What else is out there for us to switch over to.

I thank all of you who have entered your angst on this product ! I, like you was on Combivent for some years until the forced change. I took 2 puffs in the morning, and that took care of 24 hours. No problems, and BREATH ! Then this Govt. forced tree huggers dream, and our nightmare appeared ! My life is hindered with taking this every 4 hours, and it not holding well at all. Now look.. we know how TINY that little tube is that holds the medication, right? Can someone explain to me, how they squirt the medication into this tiny device and get by with saying it costs (before co-pay) $346.00 ??? Really ? Also, Lets all meet on the Capital Steps at high noon and complain, because now today, I find I have entered THE DOUGHNUT HOLE, and instead of paying my co-pay of $40.00, I had to pay $111.00 , and now I am finding out I will have to pay FULL COST . I am so sick to my stomach about this ! And I CAN'T DO A THING ABOUT IT !! I am beginning to believe this IS THE BEGINNING of DEATH PANELS so many scoffed at. There is no way the Govt. should step in like this !! I want the old Combivent. I WANT TO BREATHE EASY . Read More Read Less

Why in the world this is considered a worthy drug for sufferers of COPD, I cannot understand. Only a person who has excellant oxygen flow would promote Combivent Respimat. I haven't had correct breathing since the "good" Combivent was taken off the market. It helps very, very little, has no duration (1hr or 2 hrs) and makes me angry that it is being foisted on people as a helpful medication. It simply is not being propelled into the lungs. We need our propellant Combivent back! We deserve to breathe without slowly suffocating.Read More Read Less

I have severe COPD EF 35.Before this med I can take a shower without getting out of breath real bad,taking a shower on the other inhalers I got out of breath real bad and I cough up a lot less stuff with this med.And I also have severe heart failure a EF of 35.This MED helps me the reviews scare me, I wonder why it works for me?

I just began using this inhaler. I was using two others before this one of which was symbicort. It created severe chest pain for a few hours after each use. I couldn't deal with it. This cleared up my wheezing with one use. I do hope I don't end up with many side effects. I like having one medication to take, even if it is four times a day.

This new formalation is COMPLETELY USELESS to me, because I cough it out immediately. Over $100 down the drain... would have been even more money if I didn't have insurance.

This has to be the absolute worse medication for asthma and copd on the market. I can understand the fluorocarbon effect on the atmosphere, and I understand why the got rid of them, but I also have to ask a logical question, If people are inhaling and ingesting this product, what affect could it possibly have on the atmosphere? I tried Symbicort for a month and was breathing like a wind tunnel. Other than the "black box" warning I found it to be amazing. I would like everyone in here, and those who will visit to register a complaint with the FDA about this crap. The box to do so is just at the bottom of this page. Good luck to those who will continue to have to use this crap, I'm going back to Symbicort. Read More Read Less

I used my last old Combivent inhaler up a month ago, and now all I have to rely on is the new stuff, which does NOT WORK. My asthma has gotten steadily worse since I ran out, and only albuterol in a nebulizer seems to help, which is very harsh and a poor subsitute. I wish the morons at the FDA could share my discomfort. I figure they are trying to kill off the asthmatics.

My doctor prescribed the Combivent Respimat as a rescue inhaler for my COPD. After my insurance coverage I still had to pay over $100 for it. I have not used it and will not use it after reading these reviews. 52 one star reviews and 2 good reviews? Something is wrong here and I am afraid to use the inhaler.

I have been a user since 2005, due to COPD. This drug was me life-line. WHAT DID YOU DO!!!! The new design has 2 holes where you wrap your mouth around: wrong. The impact of the spray is none!!!! When a person can't inhale you have made it impossible!!!! I'm happy I had the old one and only just now recv'd the new one. Going to my doctor to find another alternative that I can use. You people screwed up. Plus, not to mention the cost of this on a person that is on a limited income is outrageous. My bill was 307.00 and with coupon was 277.00! WHAT were your people thinking????????Read More Read Less

Oh, my, this is horrible. I have bronchi muscle spasms when I use this product so I had to find an alternative. I now use Proair. It's better than this product but still not as good as the original combivent. Please fix the mechanism that delivers this life saving medication!

im a new user and so this is all ive ever used, it does work for me.

Doesn't work! I don't know if it's the new bottle or the formula changed. Someone needs to look at this!

they need to take this stuff off the market and start over.....you have to use so much it runs out. Crap stuff
