GLYCOPYRROLATE- GLYCOPYRROLATE TABLET AVERA MCKENNAN HOSPITAL ---------- GLYCOPYRROLATE TABLETS, USP RX ONLY DESCRIPTION Glycopyrrolate Tablets, USP contain the synthetic anticholinergic, glycopyrrolate. Glycopyrrolate is a quaternary ammonium compound with the following chemical name: 3- [(cyclopentylhydroxyphenylacetyl)oxy]-1, 1-dimethylpyrrolidinium bromide. The structural formula of Glycopyrrolate is represented below: Glycopyrrolate is supplied as 1 mg and 2 mg tablets. INACTIVE INGREDIENTS: dibasic calcium phosphate, lactose monohydrate, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, and sodium starch glycolate CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY Glycopyrrolate, like other anticholinergic (antimuscarinic) agents, inhibits the action of acetylcholine on structures innervated by postganglionic cholinergic nerves and on smooth muscles that respond to acetylcholine but lack cholinergic innervation. These peripheral cholinergic receptors are present in the autonomic effector cells of smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, the sino-atrial node, the atrioventricular node, exocrine glands, and, to a limited degree, in the autonomic ganglia. Thus, it diminishes the volume and free acidity of gastric secretions and controls excessive pharyngeal, tracheal, and bronchial secretions. Glycopyrrolate antagonizes muscarinic symptoms (e.g., bronchorrhea, bronchospasm, bradycardia, and intestinal hypermotility) induced by cholinergic drugs such as the anticholinesterases. The highly polar quaternary ammonium group of glycopyrrolate limits its passage across lipid membranes, such as the blood-brain barrier, in contrast to atropine sulfate and scopolamine hydrobromide, which are non-polar tertiary amines which penetrate lipid barriers easily. INDICATIONS AND USAGE For use as adjunctive therapy in the treatment of peptic ulcer. CONTRAINDICATIONS Glaucoma; obstructive uropathy (for example, bladder neck obstruction due to prostatic hypertrophy); obstructive disease of the gastrointestinal tract (as in achalasia, pyloroduodenal stenosis, etc.); paral Soma hati kamili
