Post-Marketing Experience

Allergic type reactions such as skin rash, angioedema, including that of the throat, tongue, lips and face, generalized urticaria (including giant urticaria), laryngospasm, and anaphylactic reactions have been reported with ipratropium bromide 0.06% and for other ipratropium bromide-containing products, with positive rechallenge in some cases.

Additional side effects identified from the published literature and/or post-marketing surveillance on the use of ipratropium bromide-containing products (singly or in combination with albuterol), include: urinary retention, prostatic disorders, mydriasis, cases of precipitation or worsening of narrow-angle glaucoma, acute eye pain, ocular irritation, wheezing, dryness of the oropharynx, tachycardia, edema, gastrointestinal distress (diarrhea, nausea, vomiting), bowel obstruction, constipation, nasal discomfort, throat irritation, hypersensitivity, accommodation disorder, intraocular pressure increased, glaucoma, halo vision, conjunctival hyperaemia, corneal edema, heart rate increased, bronchospasm, pharyngeal edema, gastrointestinal motility disorder, mouth edema, stomatitis, and pruritus.

After oral inhalation of ipratropium bromide in patients suffering from COPD/Asthma supraventricular tachycardia and atrial fibrillation have been reported.

  • OVERDOSAGE

    Acute overdosage by intranasal administration is unlikely since ipratropium bromide is not well absorbed systemically after intranasal or oral administration. Following administration of a 20 mg oral dose (equivalent to ingesting more than two bottles of ipratropium bromide 0.06%) to 10 male volunteers, no change in heart rate or blood pressure was noted. Following a 2 mg intravenous infusion over 15 minutes to the same 10 male volunteers, plasma ipratropium concentrations of 22 to 45 ng/mL were observed (>100 times the concentrations observed following intranasal administration). Following intravenous infusion these 10 volunteers had a mean increase of heart rate of 50 bpm and less than 20 mmHg change in systolic or diastolic blood pressure at the time of peak ipratropium levels.

  • DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION

    For Symptomatic Relief of Rhinorrhea Associated with the Common Cold

    The recommended dose of ipratropium bromide nasal solution 0.06% is two sprays (84 mcg) per nostril three or four times daily (total dose 504 to 672 mcg/day) in adults and children age 12 years and older.

  • PATIENT'S INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

    Ipratropium Bromide Nasal Solution 0.06%
    Nasal Spray 42 mcg/spray

    Rx Only

    Read complete instructions carefully before using.

    In order to ensure proper dosing, do not attempt to change the size of the spray opening.

    Ipratropium bromide nasal solution 0.06% is indicated for the symptomatic relief of rhinorrhea (runny nose) associated with the common cold or seasonal allergic rhinitis for adults and children age 5 years and older. Ipratropium bromide nasal solution 0.06% does not relieve nasal congestion or sneezing, associated with the common cold or seasonal allergic rhinitis. Do not use ipratropium bromide nasal solution 0.06 % for longer than four days for a common cold or three weeks for seasonal allergic rhinitis unless instructed by your physician.

    Read complete instructions carefully and use only as directed.

    To Use:

    1. Remove the clear plastic dust cap and the green safety clip from the nasal spray pump (Figure 1). The safety clip prevents the accidental discharge of the spray in your pocket or purse.

    Figure 1

    Figure 1

    2. The nasal spray pump must be primed before ipratropium bromide nasal solution 0.06% is used for the first time. To prime the pump, hold the bottle with your thumb at the base and your index and middle fingers on the white shoulder area. Make sure the bottle points upright and away from your eyes. Press your thumb firmly and quickly against the bottle seven times (Figure 2). The pump is now primed and can be used. Your pump should not have to be reprimed unless you have not used the medication for more than 24 hours; repriming the pump will only require two sprays. If you have not used your nasal spray for more than seven days, repriming the pump will require seven sprays.

    3. Before using ipratropium bromide nasal solution 0.06%, blow your nose gently to clear your nostrils if necessary.

    4. Close one nostril by gently placing your finger against the side of your nose, tilt your head slightly forward and, keeping the bottle upright, insert the nasal tip into the other nostril (Figure 3). Point the tip toward the back and outer side of the nose.

    Figure 3

    5. Press firmly and quickly upwards with the thumb at the base while holding the white shoulder portion of the pump between your index and middle fingers. Following each spray, sniff deeply and breathe out through your mouth.

    6. After spraying the nostril and removing the unit, tilt your head backwards for a few seconds to let the spray spread over the back of the nose.

    7. Repeat steps 4 through 6 in the same nostril.

    8. Repeat steps 4 through 7 in the other nostril (i.e., two sprays per nostril).

    9. Replace the clear plastic dust cap and safety clip.

    10. At some time before the medication is completely used up, you should consult your physician or pharmacist to determine whether a refill is needed. You should not take extra doses or stop using ipratropium bromide nasal solution, 0.06% without consulting your physician.

    To Clean:

    If the nasal tip becomes clogged, remove the clear plastic dust cap and safety clip. Hold the nasal tip under running, warm tap water (Figure 4) for about a minute. Dry the nasal tip, reprime the nasal spray pump (step 2 above), and replace the plastic dust cap and safety clip.

    Caution:

    Ipratropium bromide nasal solution 0.06% is intended to relieve your rhinorrhea (runny nose) with regular use. It is therefore important that you use ipratropium bromide nasal solution 0.06% as prescribed by your physician. For most patients, some improvement in runny nose is usually apparent following the first dose of treatment with ipratropium bromide nasal solution 0.06%. Do not use ipratropium bromide nasal solution 0.06% for longer than four days for your cold or three weeks for seasonal allergic rhinitis unless instructed by your physician.

    Do not spray ipratropium bromide nasal solution 0.06% in your eyes. Should this occur, immediately flush your eye with cool tap water for several minutes. If you accidentally spray ipratropium bromide nasal solution 0.06% in your eyes, you may experience a temporary blurring of vision, visual halos or colored images in association with red eyes from conjunctival and corneal congestion, development or worsening of narrow-angle glaucoma, pupil dilation, or acute eye pain/discomfort, and increased sensitivity to light, which may last a few hours. Should eye pain or blurred vision occur, contact your doctor.

    Should you experience excessive nasal dryness or episodes of nasal bleeding contact your doctor.

    If you have glaucoma or difficulty urinating due to an enlargement of the prostate, be sure to tell your physician prior to using ipratropium bromide nasal solution 0.06%.

    If you are pregnant or breast feeding your baby, be sure to tell your physician prior to using ipratropium bromide nasal solution 0.06%.
