Glycopyrrolate is an anticholinergic drug commonly used in anesthesia to treat bradycardia and decrease secretions. It notably does not cross the blood-brain barrier and consequently has very few central effects.
Uses
- Treat reflex bradycardia due to vasovagal reactions
- Reduce secretions (salivary, tracheobronchial, pharyngeal)
- Use in conjunction with neostigmine to prevent neostigmine's muscarinic effects such as bradycardia in neuromuscular blocking reversal
