ipratropium bromide
monohydrate. It is an anticholinergic agent chemically described as
8-azoniabicyclo
(3.2.1) octane,
3-(3-hydroxy-1-oxo-2-phenylpropoxy)-8-methyl-8-(1-methylethyl)-,
bromide monohydrate (endo, syn)-, (+)-: a synthetic quaternary
ammonium compound,
chemically related to atropine. Its structural formula is:
Ipratropium bromide is a white to off-white crystalline substance. It
is freely soluble in
lower alcohols and water, existing in an ionized state in aqueous
solutions, and relatively
insoluble in non-polar media.
Ipratropium bromide nasal solution, 0.06% is a metered-dose, manual
pump spray unit
which delivers 42 mcg ipratropium bromide (on an anhydrous basis) per
spray (70 mcL)
in an isotonic, aqueous solution. It also contains the following

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
MECHANISM OF ACTION
Ipratropium bromide is an anticholinergic (parasympatholytic) agent
which, based on
animal studies, appears to inhibit vagally-mediated reflexes by
antagonizing the action of
acetylcholine, the transmitter agent released at the neuromuscular
junctions in the lung.
In humans, ipratropium bromide has anti-secretory properties and, when
applied locally,
inhibits secretions from the serous and seromucous glands lining the
nasal mucosa.
Ipratropium bromide is a quaternary amine that minimally crosses the
nasal and
gastrointestinal membranes and the blood-brain barrier, resulting in a
reduction of the
systemic anticholinergic effects (e.g., neurologic, ophthalmic,
cardiovascular
