The Combivent Respimat is propellant free; it converts medicine from liquid form into a mist using a compressed spring located inside the device. As of 2013, Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals discontinued the brand Combivent and marketed an alternate brand (the Combivent Respimat) to replace the older one. You can still purchase the generic for the Combivent inhaler or the newer Combivent Respimat at My Drug Center.
