Experiences with

Ipratropium

She's trying me on Ipratropium Bromide. I asked her to give me a check up to make sure the recent chest infection had gone, thankfully she says it has. I asked her if she could tell me what my lung capacity was and she started showing me figures I didn't understand.

I use it every 4 hours with 500mg ipratropium and 5mg ventolin.Reliability is essential!I have no faith in my pari as its failed 3 times on me while having severe attacks!Now can someone get me a ball as I've done some awesome sealion impressions ;P

Two further colds triggered a tight wheezy chest and as advised gave salbutamol and ipratropium. He also has had to have short courses of prednisolone and a few trips to AnE to have nebulizers and oxygen.

My Son Davy is on atrovent (ipratropium) 20mcg once 3 times a day Pulmicort (budesonide) 50 mcg twice am once pm Ventolin (salbutamol) 100mcg as and when required Do these seem alot or normal? Thanks Lisa and Davy

She is on the blue reliever and brown preventer and has just been given a green and white reliver called Ipratropium. We have 4 cats, and although they don't seem to trigger her asthma I was wondering whether to rehome them?

Ive tried various drug courses (Phyllocontin, the handy haler, brown inhlaers etc) & now am Ceretide 250 morning & night, ventolin (when Im poorly I use one in a few days which actually irritates my airways) montelukast & finally purchased my own home nebuliser (which my GP then presribed Ventolin & Ipratropium

Nebs are Salbutamol 5mg and Ipratropium 250 four times a day. 40mg of Preds make me hungry but to try and eat when you cannot breathe is difficult. What the h5ll is going on?

hi :) When i went to see my consultant recently, he suggested I take Salbutamol tablets in addition to my current medication including home nebulised salbutamol and ipratropium bromide.I used to take salbutamol tablets when i was little but i cant remember whether they helped or not!

Went through chest x ray - clear, treatment with antibiotics and steroid sprays -Clenil,then Qvar, Ventolin, Ipratropium etc. none of which seemed to help. Spirometry inconclusive for reversability - about 7% I think.

I seem to respond better to Atrovent and best to both salbutamol and ipratropium combined. Is there any way of requesting an alternative to salbutamol?

Atrovent is a brand name for ipratropium. Anyway, it seems you are seeing your doctor about this but perhaps best go back and maybe see another. A lot of people here also have problems with no wheeze and doctors. Do you have a spacer to help with inhalers?
