Indications

Atrovent Nebules contain the active ingredient ipratropium bromide and are used for inhalation through a nebulizer.

Atrovent Nebules are primarily used to help control the symptoms of lung diseases such as asthma, chronic bronchitis, and emphysema. They are used to relieve symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, and coughing associated with these conditions.

Use and Dosage

Read the Patient Information Leaflet if available from your pharmacist before you start using ipratropium and each time you get a refill. This medication is used with a special machine called a nebulizer that changes the solution to a fine mist that you inhale. Learn how to prepare the solution and use the nebulizer properly. If a child is using this medication, a parent or other responsible adult should supervise the child. If you have any questions, ask your doctor, pharmacist, or respiratory therapist.

This product should be clear and colorless. Before using, check this product visually for particles or discoloration. If either is present, do not use the liquid.

Inhale this medication into your lungs using the nebulizer as directed by your doctor, usually 3 to 4 times a day (6 to 8 hours apart). Avoid getting this medication into your eyes. It may cause eye pain/irritation, temporary blurred vision, and other vision changes. It is recommended that you use a mouthpiece rather than a face mask with the nebulizer or that you close your eyes during use. Each treatment usually takes about 5 to 15 minutes. Use this medication only through a nebulizer. Do not swallow or inject the solution. To prevent infections, clean the nebulizer and mouthpiece/face mask according to the manufacturer’s directions.

Rinse your mouth after treatment to prevent dry mouth and throat irritation.

Ipratropium may be mixed with other medications (such as albuterol) or saline if directed by your doctor. Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully. Once a vial is opened, throw away any unused solution.

Dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment.

If you are directed to use this medication regularly, it works best if used at evenly spaced intervals. To help you remember, use it at the same times each day. Do not increase your dose, use this medication more often, or stop using it without first consulting your doctor.
