Brief Answer:
No, these are not good options.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
These are older drugs.
Names are colloid silver and magnesium sulfate.
But these are not recommended in today's era.
These are outdated drugs. I don't think you will get any of these drugs in pharmacy.
Better to take newer medicines like tiotropium, formoterol, salmeterol etc.
Please reply me
1. Which inhaler you are taking for COPD?
2. Are you taking any oral drugs for COPD?
Please reply me answers of above asked questions, so that I can guide you better. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
