Ipratropium bromide nasal spray is a prescription medication used to relieve runny nose (rhinorrhea) caused by certain conditions, especially seasonal allergies (hay fever) or the common cold. It comes as a metered-dose nasal spray in two strengths: 0.06% (often used short-term for colds or seasonal allergy episodes) and 0.03% (used for more chronic, year-round nasal discharge, such as in perennial allergic or non-allergic rhinitis).

Ipratropium bromide nasal spray is indicated for the symptomatic relief of rhinorrhea associated with the common cold, seasonal allergic rhinitis, and perennial rhinitis. It is not a decongestant or antihistamine and does not relieve nasal congestion, sneezing, or postnasal drip.

- Common cold: Reduces nasal discharge associated with the common cold. - Seasonal allergic rhinitis: Alleviates runny nose symptoms during allergy seasons. - Perennial rhinitis: Manages chronic nasal discharge due to allergic or non-allergic causes.
