Information, Symptoms, Treatments and Resources
What is Atrovent HFA?
Atrovent HFA 17 mcg/Actuation Aerosol Inhaler
Drug Name: IPRATROPIUM BR.ACT.INHALER-INH
Other Brand Names: Atrovent
Uses: Ipratropium is used to treat lung diseases such as chronic bronchitis and emphysema. It relaxes the muscles around your airways so that they open up and you breathe more easily. This medication is a type of bronchodilator. In general, use your quick-relief inhaler (e.g., albuterol) for acute attacks of shortness of breath unless otherwise directed by your doctor. Ipratropium does not work as fast as your quick-relief inhaler, but if so prescribed by your doctor you may use it to relieve an acute attack.
