Ipravent contains Ipratropium Bromide, which works by blocking the action of acetylcholine at parasympathetic sites in bronchial smooth muscle leading to bronchodilation. It helps alleviate symptoms like wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath.
Unlike some fast-acting inhalers, Ipravent is used regularly to control and prevent symptoms and is not designated for relief of acute bronchospasm.
