Airz Capsules (Glycopyrrolate)
Medicine OverView
This medicine contains Glycopyrrolate, a long-acting anticholinergic bronchodilator used to help keep the airways open in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It is generally supplied as an inhalation capsule and is used for maintenance treatment, not for sudden breathing attacks.
This medicine is usually prescribed for the long-term maintenance treatment of COPD, including chronic bronchitis and emphysema. It may be recommended when a patient needs regular symptom control for wheezing, chest tightness, cough, and shortness of breath.
It is not meant for immediate relief of sudden breathing difficulty or acute asthma-like attacks.
This medicine works by blocking muscarinic receptors in the airway muscles. This action relaxes the muscles around the air passages, helps widen the airways, improves airflow, and makes breathing easier over time.
With regular use, it helps reduce COPD symptoms and supports better day-to-day breathing control.
Use this medicine exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
