Combivent

Description

Combivent is a medication that combines two active ingredients, Ipratropium bromide, and Albuterol sulfate. It is used to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in adults who require treatment with both of these ingredients. Ipratropium bromide helps to relax and open the airways in your lungs, making it easier for you to breathe. Albuterol sulfate works by relaxing the muscles in the airways, allowing you to breathe more easily. Combivent is suitable for adults with COPD who need a combination of these medications to manage their condition effectively.
