THERAPEUTIC CLASSIFICATION
Anticholinergic
ACTION AND CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Glycopyrrolate, like other anticholinergic (antimuscarinic) agents,
competitively antagonizes the
action of acetylcholine on structures innervated by postganglionic
cholinergic nerves and on
smooth muscles that respond to acetylcholine but lack cholinergic
innervation.
Glycopyrrolate antagonizes muscarinic symptoms (e.g., bronchorrhea,
bronchospasm, bradycardia
and intestinal hypermotility) induced by cholinergic drugs such as
anticholinesterases.
As a premedicant, Glycopyrrolate Injection reduces excessive
pharyngeal, tracheal and bronchial
secretions
and,
during
anesthesia,
it
appears
to
protect
the
heart
against
excessive
vagal
stimulation.
The polar ammonium moiety of glycopyrrolate limits its passage across
lipid membranes such as
the blood-brain barrier, in contrast to the belladonna alkaloids (such
as atropine), which are
nonpolar tertiary amines. Consequently, Glycopyrrolate Injection does
not cause the central
nervous system effects seen with the belladonna alkaloids.
The onset of action following intramuscular injection of injectable
glycopyrrolate is 20 to 40
minutes. Peak effects occur approximately 30 to 45 minutes after
administration and the duration
of action ranges from 4 to 6 hours. With intravenous injection, the
onset of action is generally
evident within one minute; the duration of action varies, as does that
of all other anticholinergics.
Following intravenous glycopyrrolate, the vagal blocking effects
persist for 2 to 3 hours and the
antisialagogue effects persist up to 7
