    This document provides information about the drug Duavent, which contains ipratropium and salbutamol. Ipratropium is an anticholinergic that works by blocking muscarinic receptors to reduce cGMP, relaxing smooth muscle. Salbutamol is a beta-2 agonist that works by increasing cAMP, also relaxing smooth muscle. The combination is used to treat respiratory conditions by opening airways. Common side effects include headaches and dry mouth. Respiratory therapists are responsible for properly administering the nebulized medication and monitoring patients for potential adverse effects like hypertension.
