Mode of actions
Ipratropium bromide is a type of medicine called an anticholinergic. It works by blocking the action of acetylcholine, a chemical in the body that can cause the airways to narrow. By doing this, it stops signals that would normally make the muscles around the airways tighten. Salbutamol is another medicine that works directly on the muscles in the airways, helping them relax and open up, making it easier to breathe.
