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.

Description

Ipravent, known scientifically as ipratropium bromide, is a prescription medication primarily used to treat symptoms of lung diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), including chronic bronchitis and emphysema. It is classified as an anticholinergic bronchodilator, which relaxes and opens the air passages to the lungs, making breathing easier. Ipravent is commonly available as an inhaler or nebulizer solution.
