Re: Lobelia, strength/dosages, etc. Re: Ipratropium bromide, ALBUTEROL sulfate

Thanks again, for taking the time to type all this out for myself and others! I am sure that the Lobelia that I'm taking is not the best out there, as it's not from the sources you listed (in the middle of asthma attacks, needed something NOW so I went to local HFS). The label says Extract of Lobelia from Nature's Herbs. The dose is only 4-10 drops up to 3x/day. I didn't know there was an "emergency" dosage :( And on all the sites that you cited, it warned of taking too much. Without knowing how much was "too much" I didn't want to increase the dose without knowing what may happen. On the upside, it did help when I took it. I could breathe, and I did feel slightly calmed. If I had known I could take more, I would have been taking it every few hours. It just wore off too soon.

Now that things are more calm and I'm not in a panic to get relief, I will look into the lobelia that you suggested. Or maybe just "up" my dose of this stuff until it's gone.

Thanks again for your willingness to share!
