About Atrovent
Atrovent is a bronchodilator, which relaxes muscles in the airways and increases airflow to the lungs.
Atrovent treats bronchospasm, or narrowing airways in the lungs, in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), including chronic bronchitis and emphysema. Atrovent is available only by prescription. It is available in a generic formulation under different brand names, including ipratropium bromide.
Atrovent may be prescribed as an inhalation solution or metered-dose inhaler. It’s always important to follow the specific instructions on your prescription, as they can vary based on the formulation and dosage prescribed.
If you're prescribed Atrovent, be sure to use the medication as directed.
