Glycopyrrolate is a medication that belongs to the class of drugs known as anticholinergics. It works by blocking the action of acetylcholine on muscarinic receptors, thereby reducing secretions in the mouth, throat, airway, and stomach. In Pediatrics, glycopyrrolate is often used to manage conditions that involve excessive drooling (sialorrhea) and to reduce secretions in children with certain chronic conditions.
