No, ipratropium bromide is not a steroid.
Ipratropium is a bronchodilator that relaxes muscles in the airways and increases air flow to the lungs.
Ipratropium inhalation is used to prevent bronchospasm, or narrowing airways in the lungs, in people with bronchitis, emphysema, or COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease).
