Manufactured by Boehringer Ingelheim (Canada) Ltd. This medicine is an anticholinergic agent used to prevent the symptoms of emphysema or chronic bronchitis. It may also be used to treat other conditions as determined by your doctor.
Why is Ipratropium prescribed?
Ipratropium inhalation aerosol and solution are prescribed for long-term treatment of bronchial spasms (wheezing) associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, including chronic bronchitis and emphysema. When inhaled, Ipratropium opens the air passages, allowing more oxygen to reach the lungs.
Ipratropium nasal spray relieves runny nose. The 0.03% spray is used for year-round runny nose due to allergies and other causes. The 0.06% spray is prescribed for hay fever and for runny nose due to colds. The spray does not relieve nasal congestion or sneezing.

Most important fact about Ipratropium
Ipratropium inhalation aerosol and solution are not for initial use in acute attacks of bronchial spasm when fast action is needed.
How should you take Ipratropium?
Ipratropium inhalation aerosol and solution are not intended for occasional use. To get the most benefit from this drug, you must use it consistently throughout your course of treatment, as prescribed by your doctor. To take the inhalation aerosol, insert the metal canister in the special Ipratropium mouthpiece and shake well. Holding the canister upside down, exhale deeply through the mouth, enclose the mouthpiece with your lips, and inhale slowly through the mouth while firmly pressing once on the base of the upended canister. Hold your breath for 10 seconds then exhale. Wait 15 seconds and repeat. Test spray the canister 3 times whenever it has not been used for 24 hours. Be careful to avoid spraying in the eyes. The nasal spray pump must be primed; your doctor will show you how. --If you miss a dose...Take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the one you missed and go back to your regular schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once. --Storage instructions...All forms of Ipratropium may be stored at room temperature. Do not freeze.
Keep the inhalation aerosol away from heat and flame; the canister could burst. Discard after 200 sprays. Keep the nasal spray tightly closed.
