Using an ipratropium and albuterol inhaler four times a day can help treat symptoms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. It combines two medications, which each work in different ways to open up the airways to the lungs. Because the ipratropium and albuterol inhaler is not suitable for everyone, you should talk to your healthcare provider about certain existing medical problems (such as seizures or high blood pressure).
