1 ML glycopyrrolate 0.2 MG/ML Injection
What it is used for
Glycopyrrolate Injection is an anticholinergic indicated: in anesthesia (adult and pediatric patients) for reduction of salivary, tracheobronchial, and pharyngeal secretions, reduction of volume and acidity of gastric secretions, and blockade of cardiac inhibitory reflexes during induction of anesthesia and intubation. intraoperatively to counteract surgically or drug-induced or vagal reflex-associated arrhythmias. for protection against peripheral muscarinic effects of cholinergic agents. in peptic ulcer (adults) To reduce symptoms of a peptic ulcer as an adjunct to treatment of peptic ulcer when rapid anticholinergic effect is desired or oral medication is not tolerated. Limitations of Use Glycopyrrolate Injection is not indicated as monotherapy for the treatment of peptic ulcer because effectiveness in peptic ulcer healing has not been established.
1.1 Preanesthetic
Glycopyrrolate Injection is indicated in adults and pediatric patients for reduction of salivary, tracheobronchial, and pharyngeal secretions, reduction of volume and acidity of gastric secretions, and blockade of cardiac inhibitory reflexes during induction of anesthesia and intubation.
1.2 Intraoperative
Glycopyrrolate Injection is indicated in adults and pediatric patients to counteract surgically or drug-induced or vagal reflex-associated arrhythmias.
1.3 Reversal of
Neuromuscular Blockade Glycopyrrolate Injection is indicated in adults and pediatric patients for protection against peripheral muscarinic effects of cholinergic agents such as neostigmine and pyridostigmine given to reverse the neuromuscular blockade due to non-depolarizing agents.
1.4 Peptic Ulcer
Glycopyrrolate Injection is indicated in adults to reduce symptoms of a peptic ulcer as an adjunct to treatment of peptic ulcer when rapid anticholinergic effect is desired or when oral medication is not tolerated. Limitations of Use Glycopyrrolate Injection is not indicated as monotherapy for the treatment of peptic ulcer because effectiveness in peptic ulcer healing has not been established.

Description
Glycopyrrolate is a synthetic anticholinergic agent. It is a quaternary ammonium salt with the following chemical name: 3[(cyclopentylhydroxyphenylacetyl)oxy]-1,1-dimethyl pyrrolidinium bromide. The molecular formula is C 19 H 28 BrNO 3 and the molecular weight is 398.34. Its structural formula is as follows: C 19 H 28 BrNO 3 398.34 Glycopyrrolate occurs as a white, odorless, crystalline powder. It is soluble in water and alcohol, and practically insoluble in chloroform and ether. It is completely ionized at physiological pH values. Glycopyrrolate Injection, USP is a clear, colorless, sterile liquid with a pH of 2.0 to 3.0. The partition coefficient of glycopyrrolate in n-octanol/water system is 0.304 (log 10 P = -1.52) at ambient room temperature (24°C). Glycopyrrolate Injection, USP is intended for intramuscular or intravenous administration. Each 1 mL contains 0.2 mg of glycopyrrolate, water for injection, and hydrochloric acid or sodium hydroxide as pH adjusters. Chemical Structure
