Ipratropium bromide formulations
Ipratropium bromide has an anticholinergic effect
Ipratropium bromide has an anticholinergic effect, blocking the action of acetylcholine on muscarinic receptors, leading to a decrease in watery nasal secretions (runny nose) and sneezing.2 It has a strong synergistic effect with xylometazoline.1
A clinical study demonstrates an improvement in the severity of nasal discharge with ipratropium bromide nasal spray3
