LICOLATE INJECTION 1ML is used to reduce secretions from the mouth, throat, or stomach (such as saliva or stomach acid), to avoid cardiac rhythm issues during anesthesia, intubation, or surgery, or to minimize side effects from specific medications (such as pyridostigmine and neostigmine).

LICOLATE INJECTION 1ML contains 'Glycopyrrolate', which works by inhibiting the action of acetylcholine. Thus, reduces gastric secretions' volume and free acidity and controls excessive pharyngeal, bronchial, and tracheal secretions.

LICOLATE INJECTION 1ML will be administered by a healthcare professional; do not self-administer. In some cases, LICOLATE INJECTION 1ML may cause dry mouth, urinary retention and hesitancy, blurred vision, palpitations, and decreased sweating. Most of these side effects of LICOLATE INJECTION 1ML do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

Inform your doctor if you are allergic to any components in LICOLATE INJECTION 1ML. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. LICOLATE INJECTION 1ML may cause drowsiness and blurred vision, do not drive or operate machinery unless you are alert. Let your doctor know if you are taking prescription and non-prescription medications, including vitamins and herbal supplements.

LICOLATE INJECTION 1ML belongs to the group of medications called 'anticholinergics' indicated in anaesthesia for reduction of airway or gastric secretions, volume and acidity of gastric secretions, and blockade of cardiac inhibitory reflexes during induction of anaesthesia and intubation, intraoperatively to counteract surgically or drug-induced or vagal reflex associated arrhythmias, and for protection against peripheral muscarinic effects of cholinergic agents. It is also used as adjunctive therapy for treating peptic ulcers when an immediate anti-cholinergic effect is desired or oral medication is not feasible. LICOLATE INJECTION 1ML contains 'Glycopyrrolate', which works by inhibiting the action of acetylcholine. Thus, reduces gastric secretions' volume and free acidity and controls excessive pharyngeal, bronchial, and tracheal secretions.

Peptic ulcers:

• Eat smaller meals more often.

• Avoid smoking and alcohol consumption.

• Maintain a healthy weight by regular exercising.

• Avoid lying down after eating to prevent acid reflux.

• Avoid tight-fitting clothes as it might increase the pressure on the abdomen leading to acid reflux.

• Practice relaxation techniques and avoid stress by doing yoga or meditation.

• Avoid foods such as high-fat, spicy chocolates, citrus fruits, pineapple, tomato, onion, garlic, tea, and soda.

• Avoid sitting continuously, as it may trigger acidity. Take a break of 5 minutes every hour by brisk walking or stretching.
