Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Atem (Ipratropium) and clenil modulite (Beclometasone) are medicines frequently used for nebulization. They are generally well tolerated and nevertheless important for relief of wheezing. Along with normal saline, they help in relieving bronchospasm as well as help in diluting the respiratory secretions. If used episodically, I would not expect any negative effects.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
