Uses

Ipratropium is used in the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma.

How it Works

How Ipratropium works Ipratropium is an anticholinergic medication. It works by relaxing the muscles in the airways and widening the airways, which makes breathing easier.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Ipratropium include dryness in the mouth, cough, headache, dizziness, nausea, diarrhea, and constipation.

Expert Advice

  • Ipratropium facilitates easier breathing for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma.
  • This medication is intended for inhalation only; do not swallow the tablet.
  • It should be taken at the same time each day.
  • Ipratropium does not provide immediate relief and should not be used for sudden breathing difficulties.
  • Use your rescue inhaler to manage sudden breathing problems.
  • Dry mouth may occur as a side effect; to alleviate this:
    • Rinse your mouth frequently.
    • Maintain good oral hygiene.
    • Increase water intake.
    • Consider sugarless candy.
  • Gargle with warm water after each inhalation to prevent fungal infections in the mouth and throat.
  • Take the first dose under medical supervision, as it may cause wheezing or tightening of the airways (bronchospasm) immediately after use.
  • Your doctor may monitor your blood potassium levels regularly while you are on this medication.
  • Only small amounts of Ipratropium are absorbed into the bloodstream after inhalation, making serious side effects unlikely.
