You Or Any Individual In Your Spouse And Children Gets Sick ? You Can Not Do Devoid Of An Inhalers.

Ipratropium blocks the muscarinic receptors in the lungs and therefore stops the action of acetylcholine on them

. This, in turn, allows the muscle around the airways to relax and the airways to open.

Atrovent inhaler is used for taking ipratropium. Inhaling the medicine allows it to act directly in the lungs where it is needed most. As the amount of medications absorbed into the blood through the lungs is lower than if it is taken by mouth, therefore it also reduces the side effects occurring in other parts of the body. The name of devices, where atrovent aerocaps are used with inhalers, is Aerohalers.

Atrovent inhaler and aerohaler don't open the airways as quickly as short-acting beta 2 agonists (reliever inhalers) such as salbutamol or terbutaline. For that reason they are used as a regular treatment to help keep the airways open all the time, instead of being used to relieve shortness of breath.

Nebuliser solutions of ipratropium are used in the emergency treatment of acute breathing difficulties. A nebuliser is a machine that converts the liquid medications inside the nebules into particles that can be inhaled. It is used to deliver higher doses of the meds than a standard inhaler. Atrovent UDVs are used in a nebuliser.

People with COPD who benefit from regular use of high doses of ipratropium are also sometimes prescribed nebules to be used in a nebuliser at home. Sum up, it may be said that atrovent inhalers are used for asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

It is strongly recommended to follow the instructions which are provided with your medicine. Do not exceed the dose of ipratropium that has been written in a prescription by the doctor. Be careful to avoid an accidental penetration of this medicine into your eyes, especially if you suffer from glaucoma. You should take particular care if you are using a nebuliser to avoid the mist getting in your eyes. It is recommended that you use a mouthpiece with a nebuliser, or put on a nebuliser mask.Seek medical advice if the medicine has struck your eyes.

After using the inhalers it may occur an unexpected increase in wheezing (paradoxical bronchospasm). If this happened, it means this medicine is not appropriate for you. Stop using the inhaler immediately and ask your doctor for another treatment. Consult your doctor immediately if you experience any of the following symptoms while using this medicine: red and painful eye, possibly with headache, loss of vision or blurred vision, seeing haloes around lights. These symptoms may occur due to an increase in pressure inside the eyeball (glaucoma) and require investigation by your doctor.

If the written prescription doesnt prevent wheezing or chest tightness properly, you better consult your doctor as soon as possible. It seems your lungs condition is getting worse and you need another medicine. Use with caution in:

Enlarged prostate gland (prostatic hypertrophy).

Cystic fibrosis.

Glaucoma.

Blockage of the outflow of urine from the bladder.

Not to be used in:

Atrovent aerocaps are not recommended for under 12-year-old children.

Allergy to ipratropium bromide or related medicines such as atropine.

This medicine should not be used if you are allergic to one or any of its ingredients. Please inform your doctor or pharmacist if you have previously experienced any allergic reactions.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding. Always consult your doctor if you are planning a pregnancy or you are already pregnant, before using any medicine. It is well-known fact that certain medicines are not allowed to be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding while other ones may be safety used in pregnancy or breastfeeding.

This medicine should be used with caution during pregnancy, and only if the expected benefit to the mother is greater than the possible risk to the unborn baby. Ask your doctor for the advice before using.

It is not known if this medicine passes into breast milk. It should be used with caution in nursing mothers, and only if the benefits to the mother outweigh any risks to the nursing infant. However, in general, asthma inhalers can be used normally during breastfeeding, as the amount of medicine that passes into the breast milk after using an inhaler is negligible and unlikely to harm the baby. Seek medical advice from your doctor anyway.
