It does not provide immediate relief in the event of an asthma attack,

Can you use Atrovent daily?

Atrovent is meant to be used every day. It's not meant to be used as a rescue inhaler in the event of an asthma attack. Typical use is to take two inhaled doses four times each day to keep symptoms of COPS, bronchitis and emphysema under control.

What is the purpose of ipratropium ?

Atrovent is a bronchodilator that increases air flow to the lungs, primarily by relaxing muscles in the airways. It is prescribed to prevent bronchospasm for people with COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), chronic bronchitis and emphysema. It also reduces the severity and frequency of asthma attacks.
