Glycopyrrolate for Pets – Heart & Respiratory Support

Glycopyrrolate Injection is a drug for veterinary prescriptions administered by a veterinarian to decrease excessive salivation, suppress respiratory secretions, and stabilize heart rate in animals placed under anesthesia or medical intervention. As an anticholinergic, glycopyrrolate inhibits bradycardia (slow heart rate) and reduces the chances of surgical complications. Glycopyrrolate is also used in critical care situations to treat certain toxicities and enhance respiration in animals with respiratory diseases. Given its rapid onset and long duration of action, this injectable solution can effectively provide safe medical control in dogs and cats.

Benefits:

• Control of the Unusual Salivation or Secretions; Reduces drooling and secretion into the trachea that might occur due to anesthesia.
• Prevention of Bradycardia; Helps in regulating heart rates of animals during surgery.
• Safer Anesthesia; Reduces difficulty problems in dogs and cats under anesthesia.
• Rapid Onset & Long-Lasting – Provides consistent anticholinergic action with a longer duration of action than atropine.
• Veterinary-Approved for Diverse Uses – Indicated for surgery, emergency management, and respiratory care.

Prescription items are NON-RETURNABLE and NON-REFUNDABLE.
