What is Atrovent?
Atrovent (ipratropium bromide) is an inhaled medication used to provide symptomatic relief for people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (emphysema and chronic bronchitis) and asthma. Users experience relief within half an hour of using Atrovent, and the effects last for up to five hours.
Atrovent should not be used as a rescue medication at the onset of an asthma attack or breathing difficulties. Instead, patients should have an albuterol rescue inhaler on hand at all times for emergency use.
Atrovent comes in both single-dose vials for use with a nebulizer and as a canister for administration via inhaler.
What Does Simplefill Provide?
COPD is a progressive disease that can have an adverse effect on the quality of life. Knowing that one’s breathing difficulties are likely to worsen in time is a heavy burden to carry. Fortunately, medications like Atrovent can make breathing easier and slow disease progression, but only if taken regularly, without interruption. High U.S. prescription costs make it difficult for many people to maintain a steady supply of such essential drugs, adding a financial burden to the physical and emotional ones caused by COPD.
Simplefill is dedicated to ensuring that people who need Atrovent are able to get it. We do that by connecting COPD patients who need help paying for their Atrovent with programs and organizations offering prescription assistance.
How does Atrovent Work?
Atrovent is classified as an inhaled anticholinergic. It works by dilating the airways in the lungs to increase airflow and ease breathing. Atrovent blocks the receptors for muscarinic acetylcholine, thus preventing contraction of the smooth muscles surrounding the larger airways in the lungs and the resulting constriction of those airways.
