Ipravent (Ipratropium) and Asthma

Ipravent (Ipratropium Bromide) is a type of medication that is often given to those with asthma and a variety of different breathing problems. These health concerns can include COPD, Emphysema, and Bronchitis. This medication is to be taken daily. It is used to help reduce the frequency and the severity of breathing problems.

It is important to understand that Ipravent (Ipratropium) can’t help when there is a breathing situation in place. Therefore, other forms of medications including inhalers and oxygen tanks may be necessary to ensure that a person has the right amount of oxygen in their body.

Ipravent (Ipratropium) Usage

This medication is a spray that is placed into the mouth. It should only be taken once per 24 hour period. Skipping doses can increase the risk of breathing related episodes. The dose will vary based on the needs of the patient. It is typical for a low dose to be given. Then it can be increased if necessary over time until the right amount of Ipravent is in use.

This medication is sometimes offered to children over 12 years of age. However, other forms of treatment are often looked at first. It is considered to be safe for women who are pregnant or nursing to use Ipravent.

Ipravent (Ipratropium) Precautions

Not everyone is a good candidate for the use of Ipravent (Ipratropium). Those that have Glaucoma or problems with their bladder shouldn’t take it. Males that have concerns about an enlarged prostate shouldn’t use it either.

Ipravent (Ipratropium) Side Effects
