It does not prevent the already started breathing trouble or asthma attack, hence always carry your medical inhaler with you for emergency. The most common side effects of this medicine include nasal dryness, headache, cough or throat irritation, and dry mouth or throat. If these bother you or appear serious, let your doctor know. There may be ways of reducing or preventing them. To overcome dry mouth, it is advised to increase water intake, carry sugar candy or maintain good oral hygiene. Before taking this medicine, let your doctor know if you have liver or kidney disease, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Your doctor should also know about all other medicines you are taking as many of these may make this medicine less effective or change the way it works.

No interaction found/established Ipratropium Bromide makes breathing easier for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma. This medicine is for inhalation only. The tablet should not be swallowed. It should be taken at the same time each day. It does not work right away and should not be used to relieve sudden breathing problems. Use your rescue inhaler to control sudden difficulty in breathing. Dry mouth may occur as a side effect. Frequent mouth rinses, good oral hygiene, increased water intake and sugarless candy may help. Gargle with warm water after each inhalation to avoid any fungal infections in your mouth and throat. Take the first dose under medical supervision as it may cause wheezing or tightening of the airways (bronchospasm) immediately after using.
