What is Glycopyrrolate (inhalation)?

Glycopyrrolate is an anticholinergic that works by relaxing muscles in the airways to improve breathing.

Glycopyrrolate is used as an inhaled medication to prevent airflow obstruction or bronchospasm in people with COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), including bronchitis and emphysema.

Glycopyrrolate may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

Warnings

Glycopyrrolate inhalation is supplied as a solution (liquid) or as powder inside a capsule. Each form comes with a special inhaler device that is unique to that form of glycopyrrolate. Use only the inhaler device supplied with your specific brand of this medicine.

Glycopyrrolate is not a rescue medicine for bronchospasm attacks. Use only fast-acting inhalation medicine for an attack. Seek medical attention if your breathing problems get worse quickly, or if you think your medications are not working as well.

You should not stop using this medicine unless your doctor tells you to. Stopping suddenly may make your condition worse.
