PMS Ipratropium (Ipratropium)

Additional information

PMS Ipratropium (Ipratropium) is typically given every 6 to 8 hours. However, your doctor or pharmacist may have suggested a different schedule that is more appropriate for you. It should only be inhaled from a nebulizer. It must not be injected or swallowed. Use your nebulizer in a well ventilated room. Some of the mist will be released into the air and may be breathed in by others. Breathe calmly and deeply through the mask or mouthpiece until no more mist is formed in the nebulizer chamber. This usually takes 10 to 15 minutes. It is very important to adjust the face mask, if required, to prevent the mist from getting in your eyes. Important: Follow the instructions on the label. Do not use more of this product, or more often, than prescribed. If you forget a dose, contact your pharmacist. 
 
WARNING: Use with caution in patients with narrow-angle glaucoma (high pressure inside the eye) as PMS Ipratropium (Ipratropium) may further increase eye pressure. Use with caution in patients with prostate hyperplasia (enlargement of the prostate) or bladder neck obstruction, may cause urinary retention (inability to completely empty the bladder). Ipratropium alone should not be used to relieve an asthma attack since it works slower than other types of medications used for asthma attacks. 

In addition to its desired action, PMS Ipratropium (Ipratropium) may cause some side effects, notably:
It may cause headaches, dizziness, or blurred vision.
It may cause bronchitis (inflammation of the lining that carries air to and from your lungs), sinusitis (inflammation of the sinuses), or exacerbation of COPD (when the symptoms become much more severe). 
It may cause constipation, indigestion, nausea, cough, or altered sense of taste. 
It may cause nervousness, hoarseness, or trembling.

Contraindications: Hypersensitivity to Ipratropium, atropine (and its derivatives), or any component of the formulation.
