What does it do?

Glycopyronium bromide belongs to the class of anticholinergic bronchodilators. It is mainly used in the treatment of respiratory diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or asthma. Its purpose is to relax the bronchial muscles and facilitate breathing.

This ingredient blocks specific receptors in the smooth muscle of the bronchi, preventing muscle contraction. As a result, the bronchi widen, improving airflow and making breathing easier. It also reduces secretions, alleviating respiratory symptoms.
