Does anyone take Glycopyrrolate? Neuro prescribed 1 mg to be takem three times a day as needed. Also take Mestinon 60mg 1/2 to 1 tab 3 times a day. What is the Glycopyrrolate supposed to do? I have not been taking it.

I have been taking Glycopyrrolate, or Rubinol since October and can't go without it.
It helps me with the GI side effects of Mestinon. I take it at the same time I take the mestinon - every 4 hours.

I would leave puddles all over my pillow. During the day I would notice that I had excessive saliva but it was not like it was at night.
Since I have started taking the Rubinol, both of these issues have resolved themselves.
I don't take one without the other now. :)
Hope this helps! :)
