Experiences with

Ipratropium

In that review he reviewed my inhalers - he wanted me to shop the blue one and I think use Fostair more and up the dose of my Ipratropium Bromide aka Atrovemt.

I told her I was happy with Ventalin, Ipratropium bromide and Fostair inhalers., She mentioned Trimbow again - I said I have seen/heard how it's affected other and I don't want it, anyway - I said with AF than all at once could be a trigger.

I have a home nebuliser system which I have Ipratropium and Salbutamol nebules which help relieve the strange feeling in my chest for a while but then it comes back a couple of hours later, weirdly enough I found that singing seems to also relieve it 😂.

constant has been Atrovent or Spiriva, essentially depending how I’m feeling 😂 I’m 24 lol I wanted my medication to look cool when I was a bit younger, what can I say 🤷‍♂️ So even though I don’t have a diagnosis, I have been consistently on an ICS, LABA, and LAMA (fluticasone, salmeterol, and ipratropium

However ipratropium (atrovent) which is the same class as tiotropium can be used as a reliever, however you shouldn’t use tiotropium and ipratropium at the same time. I have not listed all options here just covered the most common devices, so if I’ve missed yours, sorry and please list it below!

I am also on Spiriva Respimat 2 puffs morning, as well as ipratropium (Atrovent) and salbutamol via nebuliser 3-4 times daily (as well as other asthma meds). I have been told that these are ok to continue.

Or could it be due to the added nebules (I take ipratropium and salbutamol 3-4 times daily) Any advice gratefully received. Many thanks, Michelle x

I only had 1 full on attack, after which they added in Ipratropium nebs along with my salbutamol nebs four times a day, which seemed to help (I'm already on fostair 200/6 and spiriva respimat). They have discharged me on these too.

I've been on four times daily salbutamol 2.5mg since admission, and adding in Ipratropium 5mg dropping to 2.5mg for the last 3 days since Monday.

I also have a heart condition - so because of the heart I was using Ipvent (Ipratropium Bromide) until something caused it not to be available in South Africa any more. So since then I used Venteze for a while and when that inhaler ran out I got Asthavent.

Hi all, I have been diagnosed with asthma 3 weeks ago as a consequence of viral infection. I was started on symbicort. But my reaction was bad with a lot of yawning and difficulty breathing in first 3-4 h after inhaling. I went to pulmonary doc. And I was started with Montelukast, duoneb nebulizer 4xday

What’s the maximum dosage of ipratropium ( Atrovent ) you can take in 24 hrs ?

I attended via a 999 ambulance having Salbutamol amd Ipratropium and still wheezy when I got there. I appreciate how awful and busy it is but I felt so tight and told them that (just about, still not complete sentences). Also have brittle asthma.

On arrival I was immediatly given nebulised Ipratropium and oxygen. After an x-ray, and a blood test it was confirmed I had not only pneumonia but also the start of septicemia, which made sense as I was also coughing up some bright red blood, and sweating really profusely.

Given usual cocktail of salbutamol and ipratropium and felt better, and wanted to go home but then felt dizzy and passed out, so in I go! Anyway long story short, no infection, more nebs,bloods, steroids and discharged. Try to get to sleep at around 0600, difficult but try to nap.

In fairness to him, he did say that he could see I was acutely unwell and was obviously in distress but he was adamant that it wasn't my asthma.......despite the fact that the ipratropium and salbutamol nebs helped!

When I was there i had 3 lots of ipratropium and salbutamol nebs over a period of a few hours. They kept a good eye on me eventually let me home at 2am. So for a few hours after, I felt really quite sick. Is this normal?

fyi, I use an Ipratropium bromide inhaler which is different from a beta agonist, which is the more common type of inhaler.

I take Fexofenadine so don’t get set off for allergies very often, in fact I can go many months without any flare up, but when it does flare it hits me hard so I have a nebuliser at home and need Salbutamol and Ipratropium together.

Occasional flare ups I could manage with nebulised Salbutamol and Ipratropium. I take fexofenadine so didn’t get set off by allergies very often. In December last year I had a very minor cold and since then I have spiralled into a completely uncontrolled state again.
