I am conducting some research in my newspapers so I need some specific information that requires a little professional knowledge in medicine area. It is my weak side. I could talk for days about politics, sport, history even art, but when it comes to medicine I have some general knowledge but that is not enough. So tell me what is the mechanism of action of ipratropium?

I know that ipraprotium solution is anticholinergic, and that it works by opening bronchial tubes making it easier to breathe. If you need more professional explanation then I can say that it blocks muscarinic receptors of acetylcholine and inhibit vagally mediated reflexes by antagonizing the action of acetylcholine which is the transmitter agent released from the vagus nerve. It prevents the increase in intercellular concentration of cyclic guanosine monoposphate.
