Combivent

[ipratropium bromide and albuterol sulfate]

Labor and Delivery

Because of the potential for beta-agonist interference with uterine contractility, use of Combivent Inhalation Aerosol for the treatment of COPD during labor should be restricted to those patients in whom the benefits clearly outweigh the risk.

Nursing Mothers

Text Continues Below



It is not known whether the components of Combivent Inhalation Aerosol are excreted in human milk.

Ipratropium bromide:

Although lipid-insoluble quaternary bases pass into breast milk, it is unlikely that the active component, ipratropium bromide, would reach the infant to an important extent, especially when taken by aerosol. However, because many drugs are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when Combivent Inhalation Aerosol is administered to a nursing mother.

Albuterol:

Because of the potential for tumorigenicity shown for albuterol in animal studies, a decision should be made whether to discontinue nursing or to discontinue the drug, taking into account the importance of the drug to the mother.

Pediatric Use

Safety and effectiveness of Combivent Inhalation Aerosol in pediatric patients have not been established.
