Does Ipratropium Bromide Cause Severe Itching On The Stomach?
I am taking Ipratropium Bromide 2/3 times a day. Have been on it a month. I have terrible itching all over my back stomach, sides. Also have a blood pressure problem causing it to go up high and then back down some. Is this being caused by these drops?

Hello,
Along with dry mouth and constipation, Ipratropium drug can cause a rash as well as itching. If you get a raised, red rash with irregular borders, this could be a sign of an allergic rash, and you must see your physician as soon as possible.
Ipratropium drug does raise the blood pressure, especially in patients who are female, over 60 and have taken this medicine for less than a month.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Arnold Zedd
