Consult your doctor if you are allergic to sodium or glycopyrronium, and neostigmine or any of the ingredients in them. Discuss your prescribed and non-prescribed medicine and your previous health history with your doctor; it will be helpful for them to treat you based on your condition. Children and elderly patients should be cautious while taking this medicine. Consult your doctor if you are planning to get pregnant or think you may be pregnant while breastfeeding.
Therapeutic Effects of Myo-pyrolate Injection
Neostigmine inhibits the enzyme acetylcholinesterase to increase the availability of acetylcholine at the motor endplate. This has an antagonizing effect on the non-depolarising nerve and muscular blockade. Glycopyrrolate counteracts the undesirable effects caused by neostigmine by blocking the action of acetylcholine present in nerves and smooth muscles. This combination reverses the muscle relaxation produced by medications that relax muscles.
Interaction of Myo-pyrolate Injection with other drugs
Inform the doctor about your medicines, including prescription, over-the-counter, nutritional or vitamin supplements, and herbal products. Certain medications may interact with myo-pyrolate injection, reducing effectiveness by causing undesirable side effects.
