Ipratropium
Ipratropium (as ipratropium
bromide
, trade name Atrovent) is an
anticholinergic
drug administered by inhalation for the treatment of
obstructive lung disease
s. It acts by blocking
muscarinic receptors
in the lung, inhibiting
bronchoconstriction
and
mucus
secretion
. It is a non-selective
muscarinic
antagonist
, and does not diffuse into the blood, which prevents systemic side effects. Ipratropium is a derivative of
atropine
but is a quaternary amine and therefore does not cross the
blood-brain barrier
, which prevents central side effects (anticholinergic syndrome).
