Glycopyrronium 25 mcg inhalation solution is a long-acting antimuscarinic bronchodilator (LAMA) used mainly for the long-term maintenance treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), including chronic bronchitis and emphysema. It works by blocking muscarinic receptors in the airways, relaxing the bronchial muscles and helping keep the airways open, thereby reducing symptoms such as breathlessness, wheezing, coughing and chest tightness.
