Salmeterol differs from these medications in that it does not begin working immediately and has a longer duration of action. This allows for twice daily dosing rather than the usual four times daily or every 4-6 hours dosing.

Combivent
Physicians prescribe COMBIVENT® Inhalation Aerosol for many reasons. Two common reasons are
- It's more convenient for patients already regularly using two different inhalers.
- It may be better therapy for patients using either ipratropium bromide or albuterol sulfate alone. Many patients benefit more when they use both.
Both of the medications in COMBIVENT® Inhalation Aerosol, ipratropium bromide and albuterol sulfate, may help open up the airways in the lungs to help air move more easily in and out. Each of the the two medications works differently.
