Ipravent Respirator Solution contains Ipratropium Bromide, a short-acting anticholinergic bronchodilator. It is used to manage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma by relaxing the muscles in the airways, thereby easing symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness. This solution is intended for inhalation via a nebulizer and is not suitable for oral or intravenous administration.

• Relieves bronchospasm associated with COPD and asthma.

• Improves airflow and reduces respiratory distress.

• Suitable for patients who require nebulized therapy.

• Can be used in combination with other bronchodilators for enhanced effect.

Use Ipravent Respirator Solution only as directed by your healthcare provider. Typically, the solution is administered via a nebulizer. Twist off the top of the ampoule and squeeze the contents into the nebulizer chamber. Follow the nebulizer's instructions for proper operation and inhalation technique. Ensure the nebulizer mask or mouthpiece fits properly to avoid leakage. Do not swallow or inject the solution.
