Glycopyrrolate

Glycopyrrolate is a medication that helps reduce secretions in the body, such as saliva, mucus, and sweat. It works by blocking certain signals in the nervous system, which can decrease the production of these fluids. Doctors often use it to manage excessive salivation, drooling, or in preparation for surgeries to keep the airways clear. It may also help treat conditions like stomach ulcers and certain types of muscle spasms. While effective, it can cause side effects like dry mouth, blurred vision, or dizziness, so it should be used under medical supervision.
