A member asked:
Is it harmful to use ipratropium bromide instead of albuteral sulfate?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NO: While ipratropium is generally used for copd, and usually in combination with albuterol, albuterol is generally used in asthma. So no harm, but may not achieve the goal of therapy when used in itself in either condition. Further since it is anticholinergic, excess usage will cause its own side effects.
