Atrovent
Quaternary ammonium anticholinergic that blocks muscarinic M3 receptors in airway smooth muscle. Reduces bronchoconstriction and secretions.
Poorly absorbed systemically — fewer systemic anticholinergic effects. Can be combined with albuterol. Onset slower than beta-agonists. Used in horses for RAO/heaves.
Each ExoticRx dose rule is graded by the strength of its primary evidence — see the editorial process.
