“May all be happy, may all be healed, may all be at peace and may no one ever suffer."
Glycopyrrolate is a competitive inhibitor of acetylcholine receptors that are located on certain peripheral tissues, including salivary glands. Glycopyrrolate indirectly reduces the rate of salivation by preventing the stimulation of these receptors. Glycopyrrolate inhibits the action of acetylcholine on salivary glands thereby reducing the extent of salivation.
