Glycopyrronium inhalation solution (25mcg/2ml) is an anticholinergic bronchodilator primarily used as a long-term maintenance treatment to control and prevent symptoms of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), including chronic bronchitis and emphysema.
It works by relaxing the muscles around the airways in your lungs, which opens up air passages and keeps them dilated. This helps relieve breathing difficulties, chronic coughing, wheezing, and chest tightness.
Usage and Administration
- Delivery Method: It is a liquid solution administered via a nebulizer, which turns the medicine into a fine mist you breathe directly into your lungs.
- Dosage: It is typically used twice a day (once in the morning and once in the evening) at the exact same time.
- Maintenance Only: It is for regular, daily maintenance to improve lung function over time. It is not a rescue inhaler and should not be used to treat sudden or acute asthma attacks.
