Combivent UDVs is a treatment used to treat COPD, which is inhaled through a nebuliser. COPD is not a single disease, rather an umbrella term which is used to refer to multiple diseases of the lungs and airways. These include the likes of chronic bronchitis, chronic obstructive airways disease and emphysema.
The symptoms of these diseases are usually shortness of breath when you exercise, a phlegmy cough, and recurrent problems with chest infections. Combivent UDVs can help reduce these symptoms as it contains two active constituents (salbutamol and ipratropium) which aid your airwaysโ dilation, making it easier for you to breathe.
The two active ingredients in Combivent UDVs (salbutamol and ipratropium) are effective at treating COPD because they both work together in order to dilate your airways. Salbutamol is a short acting beta agonist which is able to relax your airways by stimulating your Beta 2 receptors. As thatโs happening, ipratropium (an antimuscarinic medication) works to relax your airways and prevent the production of mucus by blocking muscarinic acetylcholine receptors.
When these two actions happen, they reduce the symptoms of COPD. This is because COPD usually occurs as a result of inflammation in the airways, making it a lot harder for you to inhale and exhale. When your airways dilate, it becomes a lot easier for air to pass through them and into your lungs – reducing the symptoms of COPD.
Each dose of Combivent UDV is 2.5 ml, with 500 micrograms of ipratropium bromide and three micrograms of salbutamol sulphate. It can be taken two to four times a day, depending on what treatment has been recommended by your clinician

In order to take Combivent UDVs youโll need to use a nebuliser. Simply:
If you have any issues, or you struggle to use Combivent UDVs, get in touch with your clinician. They should be able to help you out.
You should find that Combivent UDVs provides you with some immediate relief from your symptoms. This is because of the presence of salbutamol, which is able to provide quick and continued relief over several hours.
If any of the liquid or mist accidently gets in your eyes when youโre taking the medication, then you might experience a painful stinging sensation. You might also get dilated pupils, blurred vision, or see colours or lights. If any of this occurs, then you should contact your doctor straight away for advice.
If you accidentally take more of this medication than you should, itโs important that you seek medical help immediately.
If you forget to take a dose, then you can take it as soon as you remember, unless itโs nearly time for your next dose. In which case you should just leave the forgotten one. You shouldnโt double-dose in order to make up for missed doses.
