Description
Ipravent Rotacap is an oral inhalation medicine that is used in the treatment or prevention of bronchospasm (narrowing of the airways) associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (blockage of airflow to your lungs). It works by relaxing and widening the blocked air passages of your lungs. Thus it improves the airflow to your lungs and makes breathing easier.
Ipravent Rotacap may cause side effects like headache, cough, tiredness, pain during passing out urine, tightness in the chest, etc. Inform your doctor if these side effects persist or worsen. These side effects usually subside with time. However, consult your doctor for further assistance if they persist or worsen.
Ipravent Rotacap is a prescription medicine. It should be used in the dose and duration advised by your doctor. For ease of remembering, use it around the same time every day. Even if you see an improvement in your condition, do not stop taking it. If you discontinue Ipravent Rotacap early, your symptoms may recur or worsen.
Ipravent Rotacap is not recommended if you are allergic to it. It should be taken with caution if you have glaucoma (an eye condition caused due to abnormality in the drainage system of the eye leading to nerve damage) or blockage in the bladder.
