About Glycoprl-F Dpicaps

Glycoprl-F Dpicaps belongs to the group of medicines called bronchodilators indicated for long-term, maintenance treatment of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). COPD is a group of lung diseases with emphysema (shortness of breath) and chronic bronchitis (inflammation of the bronchial tube lining). In COPD, the muscles around the airways tighten, making it difficult to breathe.
 
Glycoprl-F Dpicaps is a combination of two medicines, namely: Formoterol (long-acting beta2-adrenergic agonist) and Glycopyrrolate (anticholinergic). Formoterol prevents the tightening of the muscles in the airways, making it easier for the air to get in and out of the lungs. Glycopyrrolate decreases the secretions in the airways. Together, Glycoprl-F Dpicaps provides relief from COPD.
 
You are advised to use Glycoprl-F Dpicaps for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience common side-effects such as headache, nausea, dry mouth, chest pain, muscle cramps, dizziness, painful and frequent urination. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
 
Do not stop using Glycoprl-F Dpicaps on your own as it might cause worsening of symptoms. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Glycoprl-F Dpicaps may cause dizziness, so drive with caution. Avoid consuming alcohol as it might cause increased dizziness. Glycoprl-F Dpicaps is not recommended for children below 18 years as safety and effectiveness have not been established. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and the medicines you are taking to avoid unpleasant side effects or interactions.
