Ipratropium "Up until a recent diagnosis of emphysema, I used Atrovent only if I got a pain in my lungs because of COPD. After a couple of days, the pain was gone, and I felt good. Now I am using Atrovent 4 times per day, and it continues to be a great medication that I can count on to work."

Ipratropium "This works. It's about the only prescription inhaler that does work. This one works. It is not as good as Primatene Mist, but it does work. Side effects including the standard steroid use warning, though."

Ipratropium "I like this inhaler except for the ridiculous dose counter. It's only worth a 4 rating for that. Who in the world thought this counter would be better?"

Ipratropium "I have had emphysema for 18 years. Lately, I've had more difficulty breathing than ever before. Ipratropium bromide makes a huge difference, expanding the lungs to enable them to take in more air and use it more efficiently. But there's a caveat. Disagreement as to whether or not it is one of the anticholinergics that contribute significantly to cognitive decline is very concerning. Frightening, actually."
