About Atrovent 

Atrovent is considered a bronchodilator, which relaxes muscles in the airways and increases airflow to the lungs.

Atrovent treats bronchospasm, or narrowing airways in the lungs, in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), including chronic bronchitis and emphysema. Atrovent is available only by prescription. It is available in a generic formulation under different brand names, including ipratropium bromide.

Atrovent may be prescribed as an inhalation solution, metered-dose inhaler, or nasal spray. It’s always important to follow the specific instructions on your prescription, as they can vary based on the formulation and dosage prescribed.

If you're prescribed Atrovent, be sure to complete the full course of the bronchodilator unless your healthcare professional specifically tells you to stop. If you don’t complete your prescription, the bronchodilator may not fully treat your COPD.

Atrovent uses

There are several FDA-approved uses for Atrovent, but it may also be used off-label to treat other conditions. Your online healthcare professional may prescribe it for any of the following common reasons. It’s also possible that your healthcare provider may prescribe it for other reasons not listed here. If you have questions about why a medication is prescribed, ask your online doctor or pharmacist.

  • Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

    The Atrovent HFA inhaler is FDA-approved as a bronchodilator to treat bronchospasm associated with COPD, including chronic bronchitis and emphysema. Atrovent is not a quick-relief medication, but it may be used together as a maintenance treatment with quick-relief medications to relieve symptoms of wheezing or sudden shortness of breath.

Atrovent side effects

    Other side effects, which are less common but might be more severe, could include:

    • Allergic reactions

    • Trouble breathing

    • Little or no urination

    • Blurred vision or eye pain


    You should call your doctor if you notice any of these side effects, or if you develop any other new or concerning symptoms. Atrovent may be prescribed to children over the age of 12 at a reduced dose.

How to take Atrovent

Your pharmacist will provide you with instructions on how to take your Atrovent prescription. Be sure to read your prescription label and follow the instructions. Call your doctor or pharmacy if you have any questions.

Atrovent can come in different forms and doses, so be sure to follow the specific instructions on your prescription. The usual starting dose of Atrovent metered-dose inhaler is two inhalations four times a day.
