The dose should be selected individually. During the therapy, medical supervision is required. The following doses are recommended:
In adults (including the elderly) and adolescents over 12 years of age:
Acute attacks of bronchial asthma
In mild and moderate attacks, 1 ml (20 drops) is recommended in many cases.
In particularly severe cases, for example in patients in intensive care units, if the doses indicated above are ineffective, higher doses may be required, up to 2.5 ml (50 drops).
The maximum dose, can reach 4.0 ml (80 drops).
The maximum daily dose is 8.0 ml (160 drops).
Course and long-term treatment
If it is necessary to reuse, 1-2 ml (20-40 drops) are used for each injection up to 4 times a day.
In the case of moderate bronchospasm or as an aid in the implementation of ventilation, a dose of 0.5 ml (10 drops) is recommended.
Children aged 6-12 years:
Acute attacks of bronchial asthma
In many cases 0.5-1 ml (10 - 20 drops) is recommended for rapid relief of symptoms.
In severe cases, if a dose of 1 ml (20 drops) is ineffective, higher doses may be required, up to 2 ml (40 drops).
In especially severe cases, if the dose to 2.0 ml (40 drops) is ineffective, a maximum dose of up to 3.0 ml (60 drops) may be administered (subject to medical supervision).
The maximum daily dose can reach 4.0 ml (80 drops).
Course and long-term treatment
If it is necessary to reuse, 0.5-1 ml (10-20 drops) up to 4 times a day.
In cases of moderate bronchospasm or as an auxiliary for lung ventilation, the recommended dose is 0.5 ml (10 drops).
In children under 6 years of age (body weight less than 22 kg):
Due to the fact that information about the use of the drug in this age group is limited, it is recommended to use the following dose (only under medical supervision):
about 25 μg of ipratropium bromide and 50 μg of fenoterol hydrobromide = 0.1 ml (2 drops) per kg of body weight (per dose), but not more than 0.5 ml (10 drops) (per dose).
The maximum daily dose is 1.5 ml.
The solution for inhalation should be used only for inhalations (with a suitable nebulizer) and not to be used orally.
Treatment should usually begin with the lowest recommended dose.
The recommended dose should be diluted with 0.9% sodium chloride solution to a final volume of 3-4 ml, and be applied (completely) with a nebulizer. The solution of Ipraterol-native for inhalations should not be diluted with distilled water.
Dilution of the solution should be carried out every time before use, the remains of the diluted solution should be destroyed.
The diluted solution should be used immediately after preparation.
Dosage may depend on the inhalation method and the type of nebulizer.
The duration of inhalation can be controlled by the expenditure of diluted volume.
An ipraterol-native solution for inhalations can be used using various commercial models of nebulizers. In those cases where there is a wall oxygen, the solution is best used at a flow rate of 6-8 liters per minute.
Follow the instructions for use, maintenance and cleaning of the device supplied with the nebulizer.
