Clinical uses

Ipratropium has respiratory effects similar to atropine but since it is poorly absorbed into the blood, it has few side effects (such as tachycardia) at therapeutic doses.

It is available under the trade names Alti-Ipratropium (AltiMed), Apo-Ipravent (Apotex), Atrovent Inhalation Aerosol (Boehringer Ingelheim), Atrovent Inhalation Solution (Boehringer Ingelheim), Atrovent Nasal Spray (Boehringer Ingelheim), Gen-Ipratropium (Genpharm), Novo-Ipramide (Novopharm), Nu-Ipratropium (Nu-Pharm), PMS-Ipratropuim (Pharmascience).
