Ipratropium bromide/salbutamol, sold under the brand name Combivent among others, is a combination medication used to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).[1][4][5] It contains ipratropium (an anticholinergic) and salbutamol (albuterol, a β2-adrenergic agonist).[1]

Common side effects include sore throat, muscle cramps, and nausea.[1] Other side effects may include bronchospasm, allergic reactions, and upper respiratory tract infections.[1] Safety in pregnancy is unclear.[6][1]

The combination was approved for medical use in the United States in 1996.[7] It is available as a generic medication.[4] In 2021, it was the 151st most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than 3 million prescriptions.[8][9]


Medical uses

Ipratropium bromide/salbutamol can be used for the treatment of asthma.[10]


Society and culture

Since Combivent contains a chlorofluorocarbon-based propellant, its use was discontinued in 2013 in the United States and other countries. This is because chlorofluorocarbons are attributed to depletion of the ozone layer.[11]
