Interesting Article Margaret, but there is no mention of Salbutamol (Ventolin), which is one of the main relievers of Asthma and which I've used for 32 years, however I do also use ipratropium bromide, one of the things mentioned in that article, not sure if this is prescribed very often these days, but its taken in conjunction with Ventolin, I nebulise both together, I have never had any problems with my cardiovascular system in fact my BP often causes amusement among medical staff because its near on perfect, which is very rare in some one with advanced COPD
