Key takeaways
Glycopyrrolate (Robinul) and Glycopyrrolate (Cuvposa) are both anticholinergic medications, but they are used for different conditions and come in different forms. Robinul is typically used as an add-on treatment for stomach ulcers and is available in tablet form, including an orally disintegrating tablet called Dartisla ODT. On the other hand, Cuvposa is an oral solution used to treat severe drooling in children aged 3 to 16 with certain brain conditions like cerebral palsy. Both medications are available in a generic form. Both medications can cause similar side effects such as dry mouth, constipation, and difficulty urinating, but Cuvposa can also cause side effects like nasal congestion and upper respiratory infections. Additionally, Robinul is not recommended for children under 12, whereas Cuvposa is specifically designed for use in children.
