Introduction

Ipravent Respirator Solution is only for inhalational use and should be used in the dose and duration as prescribed by your doctor. The dose and how often you take it depends on what you are taking it for. Your doctor will decide how much you need to improve your symptoms. You should take this medicine for as long as it is prescribed for you. It does not prevent the already started breathing trouble or asthma attack, hence always carry your medical inhaler with you for an emergency.

Use this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Twist off the top of the respule/transpule and squeeze all the liquid into the nebulizer. It should be used right away after opening.

Breastfeeding Warning

Ipravent Respirator Solution is probably safe to use during breastfeeding. Limited human data suggests that the drug does not represent any significant risk to the baby.

Pregnancy Warning

Ipravent Respirator Solution is generally considered safe to use during pregnancy. Animal studies have shown low or no adverse effects to the developing baby; however, there are limited human studies.

Ipravent Respirator Solution is an anticholinergic medication. It works by relaxing the muscles in the airways and widens the airways. This makes breathing easier.

Ipravent Respirator Solution makes breathing easier for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma. It does not work right away and should not be used to relieve sudden breathing problems. Use your rescue inhaler to control sudden difficulty in breathing. Take the first dose under medical supervision as it may cause wheezing or tightening of the airways (bronchospasm) immediately after using. Only small amounts of Ipravent Respirator Solution may get absorbed into the bloodstream after inhalation. Hence serious side effects are unlikely.
