About Ipravent Rotacaps

Ipravent Rotacaps is used to treat asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Asthma is a condition in which airways narrow and swell, resulting in difficulty breathing, coughing, and wheezing (a whistling sound). COPD is a chronic (long-term) condition caused by a group of lung diseases, such as emphysema (a condition in which the air sacs of the lungs are damaged) and chronic bronchitis (inflammation of the tubes (bronchi) that carry air to and from the lungs).

Ipravent Rotacaps contains ‘Ipratropium bromide’, an anticholinergic agent which works by dilating the muscles in the airway. It also reduces mucus (phlegm) production. This effect helps to improve lung function and reduce breathing difficulty. Thereby, Ipravent Rotacaps helps treat asthma and COPD.

Use this medicine as prescribed by your doctor. The common side effects of Ipravent Rotacaps are headache, dizziness, dry mouth, nausea, stomach upset, cough, and throat irritation after inhalation. Most of these side effects resolve on their own without requiring medical attention. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, seek medical help immediately.
