They didn't say. There was no prednisone though. They gave me that after
I was admitted which I learned after my blood sugar read 326 at the mid-
afternoon stick. Prednisone really messes with my BP and glucose readings.

No jitters from the albuterol. But it does help me breate easier. And the
new inhaler guy is already makiong a noticable difference. I do the Advair
morning and evening (with my meds) and the Atrovent mid-day. I also rinse my
mouth after the Atrovent - not because the directions say to do as with some
inhalers - but, because of the nasty, bitter aftertaste.
