Glycopyrronium bromide is a synthetic antimuscarinic (anticholinergic) agent used primarily to treat gastrointestinal disorders such as peptic ulcers, drooling (sialorrhea) in neurological disorders, and as a preoperative medication to reduce salivary and respiratory secretions. It is also used as an inhaled bronchodilator for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Glycopyrronium bromide is approved and widely used in clinical practice today for these indications.
