1111111111 GIJ<oi'J"DI ... Injodlon, USII Rx:anly NOT FOR USE IN NEONATES CONTAINS BENZVL ALCOHOL DESCRIPTION Glycopyrrolate Injection is a synthetic anticholinergic agent. Each 1 ml contains: Glycopyrrolate, USP 0.2 mg Water for Injection, USP q.s. Benzyl Alcohol, NF 0.9% (preservative) pH adjusted, when necessary, with hydrochloric acid and/or sodium hydroxide. For Intramuscular (IM) or Intravenous (IV) administration. Glycopyrrolate is a quaternary ammonium salt with the follmMng chemical name: 3[(cyclopentylhydroxyphenytacetyl}oxy}-1,1-dimethyl pyrrolidinium bromide. The molecular formula is C 1 ,H 21 8lNO, and the molecular weight is 39833. Its structural formula is as follows: MW398.33 Glycopyrrolate occurs as a white, odorless crystalline powder.lt is soluble in waterand alcohol, and practically insoluble in chloroform and ether. Unlike atropine, glycopyrrolate is completely ionized at physiological pH values. Glycopyrrolate Injection is a clei!IT, colorless, sterile liquid; pH 2.0 - 3.0. The partition coefficient of glycopyrrolate in a n-octanol /water system is 0.304 (log, 0 P= -1.52) at ambient room temperature (2411C). CUNICAL PHARMACOLOGY Glycopyrrolate, like other anticholinergic (antimuscarinic) agents. inhibits the action of acetylcholine on structures innervated by postganglionic cholinergic nerves and on smooth muscles that respond to acetylcholine but lackcholinergic innervation. These peripheral cholinergic receptors are present in the autonomic effector cells of smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, the sinoatrial node, the atrioventricular node, exocrine glands and, to a limited degree. in the autonomic ganglia. Thus, it diminishes the volume and free acidity of gastrk secretions and controls excessive pharyngeal, tracheal, and bronchial secretions. Glycopyrrolate antagonizes muscarinic symptoms (e.g .. bronchorrhea, bronchospasm, bradycardia, and intestinal hypennotility) induced by cholinergic drugs such as the anticholinesterases. The highly polarquaternary ammonium group of glycopyrrolate limits its passage aaoss lipid membranes, such as the blood-brain barrier, in contrast to atropine sulfate and scopolamine hydrobromide, which are highly non-polar tertiary amines which penetrate lipid barriers easily. With intravenous injection, the onset of action is generally evident within one minute. Following intramuscular administration, the onset of action is noted in 15 to 30 minutes, with peak effects occurring within approximately 30 to45 minutes. The vagal blocking effects persist for 2 to 3 hours and the antisialagogue effects persist up to 7 hours, periods longerthan for atropine. Ph•rm•cokinettcs The following phannacokinetic information and conclusions were obtained from published studies that used nonspecific assay methods. Distribution: The mean volume of distribution of gtycopyrrolate was estimated to be 0.42 ± 0.22 Llkg. Metabolism:The in viW> metabolism of glycopyrrolate in humans has nat been studied. Excretion: The mean dearance and mean T 11 l values were reported to be 0.54±0.14 Ukglhr and 0.83±0.13 hr, respectively post IV administration. After IV administration of a 0.2 mg radiolabeled glycopyrrolate, 85% of dose recovered was recovered in urine .S hours postdose and some of radioactivity wa.s also recovered in bile. After IM of glycopyrrolate to adults, the mean T, n Vlllue is reported to be between 0.55 to 1.25 hrs. Over 80% of IM dose administef'MI was recovered in urine and the bile as unchanged drug and half the IM dose: Is excreted wtthln 3 hrs.

INDICATIONS AND USAGE In Anesthesi•: Glycopyrrolate Injection Is Indicated for use as a preoperative antlmuscarlnlc to reduce salivary, tracheobronchial, and pharyngeal secretions; to reduce the volume and free addfty of gastric secretions; and to block cardiac vagal inhibitory reflexes during induction of anesthe.sla and Intubation. When indicated, GlycopyrTOiate Injection may be used Intraoperatively to counteract surgi cally or drug- induced or vagal reflexe.s associated arrhythmias. Glycopyrrolate protects against the peripheral muscarinic effects (e.g .. bradycardia and excessive secretions) of cholinergic agents such as neostigmine and pyrtdostlgrnlne given to reverse the neuromuscular blockade due to non-depolarizing muscle relaxants.

PRECAUTIONS

Investigate any tachycardia before giving GlyoopytTOlate Injection slna an Increase In the heart rate may occur.

Drug Interactions

The concurrent use of Glycopyrrolate Injection wtth other antlchollnerglcs or medications with anticholinergic activity, such as phenothlaz:lnes. anti parkinson drugs, or tricyclic antidepressants, may Intensify the antlmuscartnk effects and may result In an Increase In anttchollnerglc side effects.
