Description
Ipratropium nasal spray is used to relieve runny nose (rhinorrhea).
The 0.03% nasal solution is used to relieve a runny nose caused by allergic and nonallergic perennial rhinitis. However, it does not relieve nasal congestion, sneezing, or postnasal drip caused by allergic or nonallergic perennial rhinitis.
The 0.06% nasal solution is used for 4 days to relieve a runny nose caused by the common cold. However, it does not relieve nasal congestion or sneezing caused by the common cold.
When this medicine is sprayed into your nose, it works by preventing the glands in your nose from producing large amounts of fluid.
This medicine is available only with your doctor's prescription.
