Ipravent Rotacaps

About Ipravent Rotacaps

Ipravent Rotacaps is a medication used to manage breathing problems, primarily chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma. It contains the active ingredient Ipratropium bromide, which is an anticholinergic bronchodilator.

Uses

It helps to keep the airways in the lungs open, making it easier for air to get in and out. This relieves symptoms like chest tightness, shortness of breath, wheezing, and coughing. Similar to COPD, it relaxes the muscles of the airways and widens them, easing breathing difficulties.

How it works

Ipratropium bromide works by blocking the action of acetylcholine, a chemical that causes the breathing tubes to tighten. By blocking this effect, it relaxes the muscles in the airways and widens them, making breathing easier.

Side Effects

• Headache
• Dizziness
