About Glynium Respicap

Glynium Respicap belongs to the group of medicines called anticholinergics indicated for long-term, maintenance treatment of airflow obstruction in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), including emphysema and/or chronic bronchitis. COPD is a lung disease that blocks airflow and makes it difficult to breathe.

Glynium Respicap contains 'Glycopyrrolate', which works by relaxing the muscles around the airways in the lungs, thus making it easier to breathe. Thereby, Glynium Respicap helps in the treatment of wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness.

In some cases, Glynium Respicap may cause common side effects such as upper respiratory tract infection, nasopharyngitis (common cold), urinary tract infection, and nausea. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, consult a doctor.

Glynium Respicap is for inhalation only; do not inject or swallow. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Glynium Respicap is not recommended for children as safety and effectiveness have not been established.
