Description
Ipravent Rotacaps 40 mcg
Ipravent Rotacaps 40 mcg contains Ipratropium Bromide, a bronchodilator that relaxes airway muscles, improving airflow in COPD and chronic bronchitis. It blocks acetylcholine receptors, preventing airway constriction and reducing mucus production.
Used with a Rotahaler, it provides sustained relief but is not for immediate asthma attacks. Common side effects include dry mouth, throat irritation, and dizziness. Rinse your mouth after use and avoid eye contact to prevent irritation. Follow your doctor’s prescribed dosage for optimal results.
Store in a cool, dry place and do not swallow the capsule. Consistent use helps maintain better breathing and lung function.

How dose it works ?
Ipravent Rotacaps 40 mcg contains Ipratropium Bromide, an anticholinergic bronchodilator that works by blocking acetylcholine receptors in the airway muscles. This prevents muscle contraction, allowing the airways to relax and widen, improving airflow.
It also reduces mucus production, helping to keep the airways clear. Used in COPD and bronchospasm, it provides long-term relief but does not act as a rescue inhaler for sudden asthma attacks. Regular use ensures better breathing and symptom control without causing immediate dependence.

- Children (above 12 years): 1 Rotacap twice or thrice daily (only if recommended by a doctor).
