Description of Duoneb
The prescription drug Duoneb is a combination of two substances, albuterol and ipratropium, which are categorized under the group of drugs known as bronchodilators. The main function of bronchodilators is to assist in relaxing the muscles present in the airways, thereby increasing airflow into the lungs. The generic name of Duoneb is albuterol and ipratropium.
Duoneb consumption is done through a process called a nebulization, where a nebulizer is used. The drug itself is available in the form of a 3ml sterile solution.
Indications & Dosage of Duoneb
Duoneb is generally indicated for the prevention of bronchospasm, which is a common occurrence in people suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or COPD. Duoneb may also be indicated for other purposes.
Duoneb administration should be done exactly as the doctor prescribes. Altering dosage amounts is not recommended. As mentioned earlier, Duoneb is generally administered via a nebulizer. This involves squeezing the drug into the nebulizer chamber followed by attaching the mouthpiece to the drug chamber. The drug chamber is then attached to a compressor. The patient is then supposed to sit in a comfortable, upright position and inhale the complete solution, which takes a maximum of 15 minutes. The nebulizer should be cleaned thoroughly after use.
Duoneb use requires lung and blood tests to be conducted regularly. The drug should be stored at room temperature, away from heat and moisture. It should not be squeezed out of the vials unless required.
