IPRAVENT 2.5 REPS

Uses and Benefits of IPRAVENT 2.5 REPS (Ipratropium Bromide 500mcg)

Ipratropium Bromide 500mcg is used to treat breathing difficulties caused by conditions that narrow the airways, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and, in some cases, asthma-related breathlessness.

WHAT THIS MEDICINE IS USED FOR

• Relieving wheezing and breathlessness in COPD

HOW IT WORKS

• Blocks certain receptors in the airway muscles
