- The combination of two bronchodilators, ipratropium bromide and albuterol sulfate, is more convenient than using two separate inhalers.
- There is a lower-cost generic available.
- Use of the nebulizer machine is time-consuming. Each inhalation can take 10-15 minutes.
- This combination may not be a good option for people with heart problems.
