Atrovent is a brand name for the drug ipratropium bromide, a bronchodilator used to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma. It is a long-acting anticholinergic drug that works by relaxing the muscles in the airways, allowing air to flow more freely. It is available in both an inhaler and a nebulizer solution. Atrovent is often used in combination with other respiratory drugs, such as corticosteroids and beta-agonists, to provide more effective relief from symptoms. Atrovent is one of the most commonly prescribed respiratory drugs in the world. It is used to treat a wide range of respiratory conditions, including COPD, asthma, and bronchitis. It is also used to prevent bronchospasm in people with COPD who are exposed to certain triggers, such as smoke or dust.
