Description
Atrovent is a brand name for the medication ipratropium bromide, which is a bronchodilator. It is commonly used in the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma. Atrovent works by relaxing the muscles around the airways, which helps to open them up, making it easier to breathe.
Atrovent is typically administered through an inhaler or nebulizer. It is often used in combination with other medications, such as beta-agonists like albuterol, to provide more effective relief of symptoms.
Some common side effects of Atrovent may include dry mouth, throat irritation, cough, headache, and dizziness. These side effects are usually mild and temporary.
