What is Atrovent Inhaler (Ipratropium) prescribed for?

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a long-term lung condition in which it makes it difficult for you to breathe. Bronchitis is when your bronchial tubes, which carry the air to your lungs become inflamed and swollen. Because of this you end up with a nagging cough and mucus. Emphysema happens when the linings of the tiny air sacs in your lungs become damaged beyond repair. And over time your lungs damage only gets worse.

Atrovent Inhaler is what is known as a bronchodilator, and it relaxes the muscles in the airways and helps to increase air flow to the lungs.  This medication is also used to help prevent bronchospasm or the narrowing of the airways in the lungs, for people diagnosed with COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), including chronic bronchitis and emphysema.
