Ipratropium: Isatropium is an anti-cholinergic, which acts by opening constricted air passages which is also the action of albuterol. You should consult with your pulmonigist to see it he wants to add an anti-inflammatory agent - such as an inhaled corticosteroid , to your regimen. Typically, your drug therapy is taken for life, but there are many choices and doses to try to minimize the number of drugs.
