If you experience any of the following serious side effects, stop taking glycopyrrolate and seek emergency medical attention:

an allergic reaction (difficulty breathing; closing of your throat; swelling of your lips, tongue, or face; or hives);
an irregular or fast heart rate;
rash or flushing; or
eye pain.

Other, less serious side effects may be more likely to occur. Continue to take glycopyrrolate and talk to your doctor if you experience

headache, dizziness, or lightheadedness;
weakness or nervousness;
blurred vision, large pupils, or sensitivity of the eyes to bright light;
nausea, bloating, heartburn, or constipation;

What is the most important information I should know about glycopyrrolate (Robinul)?

Use caution when driving, operating machinery, or performing other hazardous activities. Glycopyrrolate may cause dizziness, drowsiness, or blurred vision. If you experience dizziness, drowsiness, or blurred vision, avoid these activities.

Use alcohol cautiously. Alcohol may increase drowsiness and dizziness while you are taking glycopyrrolate.

Avoid becoming overheated in hot weather. Glycopyrrolate increases the risk of heat stroke because it causes decreased sweating.
