Ipratropium bromide is a white crystalline substance, freely soluble
in water and lower
alcohols. It is a quaternary ammonium compound and thus exists in an
ionized state in
aqueous solutions. It is relatively insoluble in non-polar media.
Ipratropium Bromide Inhalation Solution is administered by oral
inhalation with the aid of
a nebulizer. It contains ipratropium bromide, USP 0.02% (anhydrous
basis) in a sterile,
preservative-free, isotonic saline solution, pH-adjusted to 3.4 (3 to
4) with hydrochloric
acid.
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Ipratropium bromide is an anticholinergic (parasympatholytic) agent
that, based on
animal studies, appears to inhibit vagally mediated reflexes by
antagonizing the action of

acetylcholine, the transmitter agent released from the vagus nerve.
Anticholinergics prevent the increases in intracellular concentration
of cyclic
guanosine monophosphate (cyclic GMP) that are caused by interaction of
acetylcholine
with the muscarinic receptor on bronchial smooth muscle.
The bronchodilation following inhalation of ipratropium bromide is
primarily a local, site-
specific effect, not a systemic one. Much of an administered dose is
swallowed but not
absorbed, as shown by fecal excretion studies. Following nebulization
of a 2 mg dose, a
mean 7% of the dose was absorbed into the systemic circulation either
from the surface
of the lung or from the gastroint
