A member asked:

Can you take atrovent (ipratropium) and proventil at the same time?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Brian Bezack answered

Specializes in Pediatrics - Pulmonology

Yes: Both medications are used as bronchodilators to help with acute asthma symptoms. They can be taken separately, but are often combined during an acute exacerbation to relax airway smooth muscle. Each medication works on a different receptor to achieve the desired result.
