Mixing aresols

Ok, i'm very low on time now adays, but now I have a decent commute to where i'm going...I probably have a good hour or so to devote to aresols in my car with my pari Trek (so far LOVE the thing, much better than a regular compressor with a car cig adapter). My question is this. I do albuterol with OO first, then follow that up with my collistin. Today I did this for the first time and it worked fine, I was able to do both aresols (collistin takes the longest between the two), then drink my iced coffee and two breakfast bars. My problem lies in that I don't have time to do my glutathione also, I just simply don't have the time. I have been doing 400mg of glutathione with sterile water in the morning and at night. So unless I somehow start mixing stuff, there is no way I can include my glutathione in the morning as well. The other possible solution is to just double up to 800mg of glutathione at night and do it before bed. I doubt the double dose would bother me because my lungs are pretty hardy.


The other possibility would be to add the albuterol to the collistin and then add the OO to that. Do that, then see if I have the time for the glutathione after. Or maybe even just put them all into one aresol. Put albuterol, the OO, collistin, AND dissolve two capsules of the glutathione into the aresol. Might sound crazy, but what do you guys think?

Currently there is no way on earth I could get up earlier and knock one out at the house before the drive, because i'm already barely getting 5-6 hrs sleep. I wake up, shake, shower, put on the clothes/belt/shoes etc, brush teeth, grab my instant breakfast and breakfast bars, grab my pari trek, grab my drugs/supplements for my aresols, grab the neb cups, grab my business related paperwork, wallet, phone etc, then out the door I go. I usually get up with her @ 6:30am, and get to bed around 12:30 or 1:00 am, and it takes me a while to finally nod off. I'm starting to become more adjusted to general lack of sleep all the time, and hopefully after this week and the next, my schedule will be much more predictable, and i'll only have to tolerate two days of the week where I probably get little sleep.


Anyways, I know a drug like pulmozyme is expressly warned against mixing with any other chemical due to it being very sensitive (you shouldnt even put it in the same neb cups as other stuff), so I was wondering if anything I listed might screw up something else. I've fully skipped my glutathione today because I didn't have time in the morning, and I didn't have time tonight <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0">

Well this morning I did the normal albuterol + oo, then I had the collistin + the glutathione in a different neb. Seemed to work ok. Hope the collistin and the glutathione are ok together and neither is messing with the other.
 
personally, I wouldn't be mixing the two without consulting a pharmacist or someone that knows a heck of a lot more than me. Just my opinion though. HOpe it all works out for you. I am glad that you have a job. Just don't wear yourself out.
