About Ipravent Rotacaps
Ipravent Rotacaps is used to treat asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Asthma is a condition in which airways narrow and swell, resulting in difficulty breathing, coughing, and wheezing (a whistling sound). COPD is a chronic (long-term) condition caused by a group of lung diseases, such as emphysema (a condition in which the air sacs of the lungs are damaged) and chronic bronchitis (inflammation of tubes (bronchi) that carry air to and from the lungs).
Ipravent Rotacaps contains ‘Ipratropium bromide’, which is an anticholinergic. It is used to treat symptoms associated with chronic lung conditions and reduce the risk of frequent asthma attacks. It acts as a bronchodilator and works by dilating the muscles in the airway. It also reduces mucus (phlegm) production. This effect helps to improve lung function and reduce breathing difficulty. It is a short-acting drug.
Use this medicine as prescribed by your doctor. The common side-effects of Ipravent Rotacaps are headache, dizziness, epistaxis (nosebleed), nausea, nasal dryness, nasal irritation, stomach upset, and cough, and throat irritation after inhalation. Most of these side effects resolve themselves without requiring medical attention. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, seek medical help immediately.
Do not take Ipravent Rotacaps if you are allergic to ‘ipratropium bromide’ or any other ingredients present in it. Before taking Ipravent Rotacaps , inform your doctor if you have a history of glaucoma (an eye condition), urinary retention and an enlarged prostate gland. Inform your doctor if you are using any prescription, non-prescription or nutritional supplements; also, inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
