GLYCOPYRROLATE+NEOSTIGMINE METHYLSULPHATE
About GLYCOPYRROLATE+NEOSTIGMINE METHYLSULPHATE
GLYCOPYRROLATE+NEOSTIGMINE METHYLSULPHATE is an anticholinergic agent/acetylcholinesterase inhibitor combination that is primarily used at the end of an operation to reverse the effects of anaesthetics and muscle relaxants.
GLYCOPYRROLATE+NEOSTIGMINE METHYLSULPHATE is made of Glycopyrrolate and Neostigmine. Neostigmine raises acetylcholine levels by inhibiting an enzyme that breaks down acetylcholine, which is involved in nerve impulse transmission and muscle action. On the other hand, Glycopyrrolate is an anticholinergic that inhibits the negative effects of Neostigmine, such as slowed heart rate and excessive saliva production.
GLYCOPYRROLATE+NEOSTIGMINE METHYLSULPHATE is prescription-only medication available in the form of injection. It is administered by a qualified healthcare professional. The common side-effects of GLYCOPYRROLATE+NEOSTIGMINE METHYLSULPHATE are pain, itching, swelling or redness around the site of injection, constipation, dry mouth, nausea, vomiting, visual disturbance, dizziness, diarrhoea, too much saliva, dryness of skin, increased pressure on the eye, stomach cramps, the uncontrolled need of passing urine. Most of these side effects of GLYCOPYRROLATE+NEOSTIGMINE METHYLSULPHATE do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
Do not use GLYCOPYRROLATE+NEOSTIGMINE METHYLSULPHATE if you are allergic to Glycopyrrolate, Neostigmine Methylsulphate, or other substances in this drug, or if you are receiving Suxamethonium, a muscle relaxant commonly used during surgery. It is also not suggested if you have difficulties passing urine, intestinal blockage, prolonged QT interval (irregular heart rhythm), or heart problems. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, suspect you are pregnant or plan to have a baby. Consult your doctor before driving or operating machinery since this medication may impair your ability to drive or operate machinery safely. GLYCOPYRROLATE+NEOSTIGMINE METHYLSULPHATE can be given to children if medically indicated; the child's age and weight determine the dose.
Uses of GLYCOPYRROLATE+NEOSTIGMINE METHYLSULPHATE
Medicinal Benefits
GLYCOPYRROLATE+NEOSTIGMINE METHYLSULPHATE is an anticholinergic agent/acetylcholinesterase inhibitor combination that is primarily used at the end of an operation to reverse the effects of anaesthetics and muscle relaxants. GLYCOPYRROLATE+NEOSTIGMINE METHYLSULPHATE is composed of Glycopyrrolate and Neostigmine. Neostigmine boosts acetylcholine levels by blocking an enzyme that degrades acetylcholine, which is involved in nerve impulse transmission and muscle activity. On the other hand, Glycopyrrolate is an anticholinergic that reduces the unfavourable effects of Neostigmine, such as slow heart rate and increased saliva production.
