Glycolate 1 mg is used to treat intestinal or peptic ulcer disease. Glycopyrrolate, the active ingredient, is extremely useful in healing these ulcers and preventing other complications associated with the condition. Glycopyrrolate controls stomach acid production, which relaxes the muscles in the stomach. It may also be prescribed to reduce secretions in the mouth, throat and airways before surgery. The medicine falls into the category of drugs known as anticholinergics. Consult a physician to get the prescription for this anticholinergic drug. Your physician may give this medicine for other purposes as well.
