ATROVENT HFA is an inhaled anticholinergic bronchodilator containing ipratropium bromide, delivered as a metered-dose aerosol. It is indicated for maintenance treatment of airflow obstruction in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma. The drug works by blocking muscarinic receptors in the airways to relax smooth muscle and improve breathing.
