Abstract

A cough is an involuntary reflex or triggered by a deliberately strenuous exhalation maneuver consisting in the sudden expulsion of air from the lower respiratory tract to remove the residual secretion or a foreign body. When choosing a drug for the treatment of cough, numerous elements should be taken into account, which are intended to maximize the effectiveness of the treatment used and reduce the risk of side effects. One drug that can be used to treat symptomatic treatment of dry cough is ipratropium bromide.
