It helps to reduce exacerbation and improve breathing by relaxing the airways and reducing airflow obstruction.

How does ipratropium-albuterol work?

  • Ipratropium is an anticholinergic medication that works by blocking the action of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that causes the tightening of the airway muscles. By blocking the effects of acetylcholine, ipratropium helps to relax the muscles and open up the airways, making it easier to breathe
  • Albuterol is a bronchodilator that works by relaxing the smooth muscles in the airways and improving airflow to the lungs. It stimulates the beta-2 adrenergic receptors, leading to the relaxation of the bronchial muscles and opening of the airways
