What is Atrovent Inhaler?

Atrovent Inhaler, with the generic name ipratropium bromide, is an oral inhalation used as maintenance treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or COPD, which includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema. It prevents and controls symptoms like wheezing and shortness of breath. This is sometimes used together with a quick-relief inhaler to manage sudden breathing problems.

This anticholinergic agent works by inhibiting the vagally stimulated reflexes by antagonizing the action of acetylcholine. It relaxes the bronchial smooth muscles of the airways allowing them to open up. This is available in Atrovent Inhaler 17 mcg/actuation.
