medicines:
atropine (Donnatal, and others),
belladonna,

This list is not complete and there may be other drugs not listed that
can affect ipratropium inhalation. Tell your doctor about all the prescription and over-the-counter
medications you use. This includes vitamins, minerals, herbal products, and drugs prescribed by
other doctors. Do not start using a new medication without telling your doctor.
Stop using ipratropium inhalation and get emergency medical help if you have any of
these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of
your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Call your doctor at once if you have a fast, pounding heartbeat.

headache, dizziness;
dry mouth, cough, hoarseness;
nausea, upset stomach; or
blurred vision.
If you switch from Atrovent to Atrovent HFA, you may notice a
slightly different taste or feel after inhaling the medication.
