Online Atrovent / Ipratropium Use Indication:

Atrovent / Ipratropium comes as a solution and an aerosol to inhale by mouth. It usually is inhaled three or four times a day. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Use Atrovent / Ipratropium exactly as directed. Do not use more or less of it or use it more often than prescribed by your doctor. Your doctor may instruct you to take additional puffs if needed. However, do not use more than 12 puffs in 24 hours.
Before you use Atrovent / Ipratropium by inhalation the first time, read the written instructions that come with it. Ask your doctor, pharmacist, or respiratory therapist to demonstrate the proper technique. Practice using the inhalation device while in his or her presence.
To use the inhaler, follow these steps:
Shake the inhaler well.
Remove the protective cap.
Exhale (breathe out) as completely as possible through your nose while keeping your mouth shut.
Open Mouth Technique: Open your mouth wide, and place the end of the mouthpiece about 1-2 inches from your mouth. Closed Mouth Technique: Place the open end of the mouthpiece well into your mouth, past your front teeth. Close your lips tightly around the mouthpiece.
Take a slow, deep breath through the mouthpiece and, at the same time, press down on the container to spray the medication into your mouth. Be sure that the mist goes into your throat and is not blocked by your teeth or tongue. Adults giving the treatment to young children may hold the child's nose closed to be sure that the medication goes into the child's throat.
Hold your breath for 5-10 seconds, remove the inhaler, and exhale slowly through your nose or mouth. If you take 2 puffs, wait 2 minutes and shake the inhaler well before taking the second puff.
Replace the protective cap on the inhaler.
If you have difficulty getting Atrovent / Ipratropium medication into your lungs, a spacer (a special device that attaches to the inhaler) may help; ask your doctor, pharmacist, or respiratory therapist.
