Generic name: Glycopyrrolate
Brand names: Robinul and Robinul Forte
Glycopyrrolate is a synthetic anticholinergic. An anticholinergic blocks the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which results in the inhibition of the transmission of parasympathetic nerve impulses. Robinul and Robinul Forte are brand name tablets that contain glycopyrrolate.
Robinul is most often used to treat stomach and intestinal ulcers, but the effects are usually temporary. Robinul will decrease the amount of acid in the stomach. A side effect of the drug is that it stops bodily secretions. Consequently, many people use it to treat hyperhidrosis.
Although hyperhidrosis can stop after taking Robinul, there are other unwanted side effects that often arise. The most common are blurred vision, dizziness, drowsiness, dry eyes and dry mouth. Some people also get abdominal bloating and constipation.
