Ipratropium (i-pra-TROE-pee-um) and albuterol (al-BYOO-ter-ol) combination is a bronchodilator (medicine that opens up narrowed breathing passages). It is taken by inhalation to help control the symptoms of lung diseases, such as asthma, chronic bronchitis, and emphysema.

NO steroids. Ipratropium bromide is an anticholinergic. Albuterol is a beta agonist. similar effects, different mechanism.
