Use
Generic Atrovent is known as an anticholinergic bronchodilator and is used to make breathing easier for people with diseases such as asthma, emphysema, (a serious condition that makes breathing difficult), and chronic obstructive bronchitis. Generic Atrovent improves air flow by relaxing the muscular tubes (air passages) that carry air to and from your lungs.

Dosage
Shake the metered aerosol before each puff. This will mix the medicine evenly so that a correct dose is delivered. Each puff must be inhaled through the mouth properly for Generic Atrovent to work.

The more frequently reported side effects of Generic Atrovent are headache, nausea, dryness of the mouth, throat irritation and cough. Less frequently reported side effects of Generic Atrovent include the following: Fast or irregular heart beat; Change in bowel movements; Urinary retention (difficulty passing urine); Narrow-angle glaucoma (a condition affecting the eyes). The following symptoms may be associated with narrow-angle glaucoma: red eyes, eye pain or discomfort, sight disturbances (blurred vision, visual halos or coloured images); Direct contact of the spray with the eyes may temporarily affect the ability of the eyes to focus. However, in some patients this may cause the more serious eye problem of narrow-angle glaucoma mentioned above, to develop or worsen. Therefore, it is very important to follow the Directions for Use carefully and avoid contact with the eyes. Worsening of breathing problems (induced by the inhalation process); Allergic reactions: Most of the cases of allergic reactions have involved patients who have had a history of allergy to other drugs and/or foods.

The plastic mouthpiece has been specially designed for use with Atrovent. The mouthpiece must never be used with any other metered aerosol nor must the Atrovent metered aerosol be used with any mouthpiece other than the one supplied with the product. Only use Atrovent if a doctor has prescribed it for you. Never give it to someone else even if their symptoms seem to be the same as yours.

In some cases you should not use Atrovent if you are allergic to certain other medicines. You must tell your doctor if you are allergic to any other medicine, particularly atropine or other anticholinergic medicines. If you are uncertain as to whether you have these allergies you should raise those concerns with your doctor. You should never use Atrovent after the expiry date on the canister or carton.
