Medical uses
Neostigmine/glycopyrronium bromide is indicated for the reversal of the effects of non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents after surgery, while decreasing the peripheral muscarinic effects (e.g., bradycardia and excessive secretions) associated with cholinesterase inhibition following non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agent reversal administration.[3]
