Chemistry
Ipratropium Bromide: C~20~H~30~BrNO~3~ H~2~O. Mw: 430.38. (1) 8-Azoniabicyclo[3.2.1]octane, 3-(3-hydroxy-1-oxo-2-phenylpropoxy)-8-methyl-8-(1-methylethyl)-, bromide, monohydrate(endo,syn)-, (±)-; (2)(8r)-3α-Hydroxy-8-isopropyl-1αH,5αH-tropanium bromide (±)-tropate monohydrate. CAS-66985-17-9; CAS-22254-24-6 (anhydrous)(1977).
Pharmacologic Category
Anticholinergic Agents; Antimuscarinics/Antispasmodics. (ATC-Code: R01AX03; R03BB01).
Mechanism of action
Blocks action of acetylcholine at parasympathetic sites in bronchial smooth muscle causing bronchodilation. Local application to nasal mucosa inhibits serous and seromucous gland secretions.
Therapeutic use
Anticholinergic bronchodilator used in bronchospasm associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, bronchitis, and emphysema (oral inhalation). Symptomatic relief of rhinorrhea associated with common cold and allergic and nonallergic rhinitis (nasal spray).
Pregnancy and lactiation implications
Teratogenic effects not observed in animal studies. There are no adequate, controlled studies to date using orally inhaled ipratropium in pregnant women, and drug should be used during pregnancy only when clearly needed. It is recommended that orally inhaled ipratropium be used with caution in nursing women.
Unlabeled use
Adjunct to short-acting β-adrenergic agonist therapy in moderate-to-severe exacerbations of acute asthma in emergency room (oral inhalation).
Contraindications
Hypersensitivity to ipratropium, atropine (and its derivatives), or any component of the formulation.
Warnings and precautions
Rarely, paradoxical bronchospasm might occur with use of inhaled bronchodilating agents. Immediate hypersensitivity reactions (angioedema, bronchospasm, rash, urticaria) reported. Use with caution in narrow-angle glaucoma, myasthenia gravis, prostatic hyperplasia or bladder neck obstruction. Inhalation/nebulizer should only be used in acute exacerbations of asthma in conjunction with short-acting β-adrenergic agonists for acute episodes.
