Glycopyrronium bromide (Glycopyrrolate) Inj — brands, prices, indication, dosage and side effects available in Bangladesh.
Description
Glycopyrronium bromide (Glycopyrrolate) Inj is used to treat Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This medicine helps the muscles around the lungs to stay relaxed and reduces symptoms of diseases like coughing, chest tightness and shortness of breath. Your doctor will tell you how often you need to use your inhaler. It is important that you take the lowest dose needed to effectively control your chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The effect of this medicine may be noticeable after a few days but will only reach its maximum after a few weeks. This medicine must be used regularly to be effective, so go on taking it even if you do not have any symptoms. That means it is doing its job. If you stop taking it your chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) may get worse. Thus, it should not be used to relieve sudden breathing problems. It is best to take the first dose of this medicine under medical supervision as it may cause wheezing or tightening of the airways. The most common side effects are runny nose, upper respiratory tract infection, and sore throat. If you get these, do not stop taking it but do talk to your doctor. You can help prevent these symptoms by rinsing your mouth and throat with water or brushing your teeth after using your inhaler. There are other, rarer side effects which can be serious. Talk to your doctor if you are worried about them. Glycopyrronium bromide (Glycopyrrolate) Inj is an anticholinergic medication. It works by blocking the activity of a chemical messenger (acetylcholine) in the brain. This helps the muscles around the lungs stay relaxed and reduces COPD symptoms such as coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath.
Indications
• Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
Mechanism of action
Glycopyrronium bromide is a quarternary ammonium antimuscarinic. It blocks acetylcholine at parasympathomimetic sites and induces smooth muscle relaxation. It also reduces gastric acid secretions and controls pharyngeal, tracheal and bronchial secretions. It antagonises muscarinic symptoms such as bronchorrhoea, bronchospasm, bradycardia and intestinal hypermotility induced by anticholinesterases.
