Conditions treated by ipratropium
Ipratropium is a bronchodilator primarily used for the maintenance treatment of bronchospasm associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), including chronic bronchitis and emphysema. It helps to reduce exacerbation and improve breathing by relaxing the airways and reducing airflow obstruction. Ipratropium may be used in combination with albuterol. Ipratropium nasal spray is used to treat a runny nose caused by allergic and nonallergic rhinitis. It is not recommended for sneezing, nasal congestion, or postnasal drip.
How does ipratropium work?
Ipratropium belongs to a class of medications called anticholinergics (antagonist of the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor). It works by blocking the action of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that causes smooth muscles in the airways to contract. By blocking acetylcholine, ipratropium helps to relax and widen the airways, making it easier to breathe.

Ipratropium is available in the form of an inhalation solution, nasal spray, and inhalation aerosol.

The oral inhalation nebulized solution is typically used with a nebulizer, while the nasal spray and inhalation aerosol are used directly in the nostril or mouth using a nasal spray or metered dose inhaler. It is important to follow the specific instructions provided with the medication for proper use.
