How it works
From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (Qbrexza). It describes the substance, not this exact product.
Glycopyrronium is a competitive inhibitor of acetylcholine receptors that are located on certain peripheral tissues, including sweat glands.
In hyperhidrosis, glycopyrronium inhibits the action of acetylcholine on sweat glands, reducing sweating.
A small proportion of glycopyrronium is metabolized following IV administration.
Following administration of a single radiolabeled IV glycopyrronium dose to adult subjects who underwent surgery for cholelithiasis, approximately 85% of total radioactivity was excreted in urine and < 5% was present in bile drainage.
