He has used a nebulizer in the past but it's not very convenient.

Right now he only uses the Berotec once or twice a week. The pulmicort has really reduced the number and severity of his attacks.

But in the spring, and during extremely humid or extremely cold weather, he might use the rescue puffer a bit more. If he finds that he's having more attacks he can increase his Pulmicort for a while and that solves the problem.

But regardless of how good the Pulmicort is he still needs a rescue puffer. There are certain plants and products that make him wheeze no matter how good his other meds are. They are his worst triggers and it's almost impossible to avoid them completely.

He did try the new Ventolin during a round of pulmonary function testing and it was not very effective at all.

I even contacted the company that makes Berotec and they don't have, and aren't planning to have, a CFC free Berotec inhaler. They only offer Atrovent and Spiriva - neither of which are rescue puffers.

Our pharmacist suggested Bricanyl. Anyone on this or know anything about it?

I really appreciate all your help on this. Any info or discussion is helpful at this point!

Thanks!
