Mode of Action

Ipratropium bromide is an anticholinergic agent that inhibits vagally-mediated reflexes by antagonising the action of acetylcholine. It prevents the increases in intracellular concentration of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cyclic GMP) which are brought about by interaction of acetylcholine with the muscarinic receptors on bronchial smooth muscle. Salbutamol is a direct-acting beta 2-adrenergic agent. It acts on the airway smooth muscle resulting in bronchodilation.
