Indications
- Combivent Respimat inhaler is indicated for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in patients who require a second bronchodilator.
- It helps to relieve bronchospasm and improve breathing in individuals with COPD, including chronic bronchitis and emphysema.
Dosage and Administration
- Use Combivent Respimat exactly as prescribed by your doctor, typically one inhalation four times daily.
- Prime the inhaler before the first use by actuating the inhaler until a mist is visible, then repeat three more times.

Mechanism of Action
Combivent Respimat contains Ipratropium Bromide and Albuterol, which are bronchodilators. Ipratropium bromide is an anticholinergic that helps to relax and open the airways in the lungs. Albuterol is a beta-agonist that also relaxes and widens the airways, making it easier to breathe.
