Robinul Online
What is Robinul (glycopyrronium)?
Glycopyrronium is used to treat certain types of stomach and intestinal ulcers, as well as abdominal pain. It’s commonly sold under the brand names Robinul, Robinul Forte, and Cuvposa.
While Robinul can help treat peptic ulcers, it has not been proven that it can cure ulcers or stop them from recurring. Instead, it manages the symptoms of stomach and intestinal ulcers.
Do I need a prescription for Robinul?
Yes, you need a prescription for Robinul. Robinul is a prescription drug and is not available over-the-counter (OTC).
How does Robinul work?
Robinul (glycopyrronium) belongs to a class of drugs called anticholinergics. These drugs block acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that helps certain cells communicate.
Specifically, glycopyrrolate blocks acetylcholine’s effects on the central nervous system, smooth muscles, and secretion glands. This means it can reduce salivation by preventing acetylcholine receptors from being stimulated. It also reduces secretions in the stomach, which lowers the amount of stomach acid.
How to use Robinul?
There are two forms of Robinul: oral and injectable. The oral tablets are typically prescribed for individual use, while the injectable is often used when a person is put under general anesthesia for surgery. If your healthcare provider prescribes Robinul, they will likely prescribe the oral form.
The injectable form of glycopyrrolate is frequently used during operations. It reduces secretions in the airway and stomach, which protects the body while it is under general anesthesia.
If your provider prescribes Robinul oral tablets, they will choose an appropriate dose based on your weight, medical condition, and other factors. They might start with a lower dose and increase it as needed. In most cases, they’ll recommend that you take a tablet two or three times per day.
The maximum dosage is 8 mg per day. It’s important to note that you shouldn’t take more than your provider recommends, and if you feel like your medication isn’t working properly, you should consult them first. Always use your medication exactly as written on the label.
Robinul side effects
Like all medications, Robinul can cause a range of mild to moderate side effects. Most of these resolve on their own with time, but if they don’t, you should talk to your provider about adjusting your dose. Some of these side effects include:
- Constipation and bloating
- Nausea
- Insomnia
- Dry mouth
- Dry eyes
- Headache
- Rash
In rare cases, Robinul can cause severe side effects or allergic reactions. Seek medical attention if you experience any of the following:
- Severe constipation or stomach pain
- Painful urination
- Ongoing diarrhea or constipation
- Pounding heartbeat
- Severe confusion
- Fever
- Hot, flushed skin
Considerations and precautions for Robinul
Robinul is generally safe and well-tolerated, but it carries some risks like all medications. You should tell your provider about any other medications, vitamins, or supplements you take on a regular basis. Certain drugs can interact with the active ingredient in Robinul and cause dangerous side effects.
Additionally, you should tell your provider about your family medical history as well as your own medical history. This is because people with certain health conditions shouldn’t take Robinul. Some of these include:
- Glaucoma: People with or with a family history of angle-closure type glaucoma shouldn’t take Robinul.
- Urination problems: People should avoid Robinul if they have an enlarged prostate, a blocked urinary tract, or other issues with urination.
- Gastrointestinal problems: People should avoid Robinul if they have conditions such as ulcerative colitis, gut blockages, and an ileostomy or colostomy.
- Heart problems: These include angina, congestive heart failure, coronary artery disease, and other heart conditions.
- Heartburn: People should avoid Robinul if they have acid reflux, hiatal hernia, or esophagus problems.
- Other health conditions: These include overactive thyroid, autonomic neuropathy, myasthenia gravis, liver problems, and kidney problems.
Additionally, it’s important to note that Robinul makes you sweat less, making you more susceptible to heat stroke. It can also cause drowsiness, so it’s a good idea to avoid driving and consuming excess alcohol while taking it.
If you are pregnant or think you may be pregnant, tell your provider before taking Robinul. Research is unclear on whether it can harm a fetus, so it should only be used if absolutely necessary. You should avoid Robinul while nursing as it can reduce milk production.
Finally, tell your provider if you have any known allergies to medications. If you take Robinul and think you may be having an allergic reaction, seek immediate medical attention.
Can you buy Robinul online?
Yes, an online doctor can prescribe Robinul. They’ll discuss your medical history and symptoms to determine whether or not you need medication and, if so, which option is best for you. If your symptoms don’t get better with treatment, they may refer you to a specialist.
