Be aware that taking Benicar HCT while running a high fever can be very dangerous. I became severely dehydrated and blood pressure dipped dangerously low. Fainted a couple of times and kidneys were not functioning properly. All in all was very sick person.

I have been prescribed so many inhalers for ten years, that I know use Symbicort and lessened my need for Xopenex. However, I carry the inhaler just in case. It also took doctors several years to diagnose me with Asthma, coupled with COPD AND EMPHYSEMA, so everyone's breathing needs are treated differently. I found over use of Xopenex made me anxious, and increased my heart rate too quickly. I use oxygen 24/7 talk to your doctor about all your symptoms to better understand your needs.

In other words - do you use this as a mist inhaler with the neubilizer and then the HFA- inhaler as needed during the day.....
