Guest guest Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 Yes, I took a similar drug and it did dry up my secretions. The most bothersome side-effect was constipation.  http://www.emedicinehealth.com/drug-glycopyrrolate/article_em.htm I would suggest that you take a product that contains Guaifenesin. My pulmonologists suggests Waltussin. It works wonders for me! http://www.walgreens.com/store/c/walgreens-wal-tussin-chest-congestion-liquid-fo\ r-adults/ID=prod4269867-product Hope you feel much better!  Lori ________________________________ From: Lorey <entwinedivy@...> SMA Friends < > Sent: Monday, October 3, 2011 3:30 PM Subject: Robinul  Hi Everyone! My secretions have been worse lately, I usually get more junkie in the spring/fall but it seemed to have happened much earlier this year. My nursing supervisor had mentioned Robinul to my mom so I asked my pulmonologist about it and he's calling it into the pharmacy. Has anyone else use this before, or is currently on it? Is there any SMA related side effects I should worry about with this med? Thanks! & Ivy- service dog extraordinaire www.k94life.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 Yeah, Tussin PE (Expectorant) is great! Make sure the only active ingredient is guaifenesin. It really helps thin/loosen the secretions. I use it when I'm sick. > > Yes, I took a similar drug and it did dry up my secretions. The most bothersome side-effect was constipation.  > http://www.emedicinehealth.com/drug-glycopyrrolate/article_em.htm > > I would suggest that you take a product that contains Guaifenesin. My pulmonologists suggests Waltussin. It works wonders for me! > > http://www.walgreens.com/store/c/walgreens-wal-tussin-chest-congestion-liquid-fo\ r-adults/ID=prod4269867-product > > Hope you feel much better! > >  > Lori > > > > > > ________________________________ > From: Lorey <entwinedivy@...> > SMA Friends < > > Sent: Monday, October 3, 2011 3:30 PM > Subject: Robinul > > >  > Hi Everyone! > > My secretions have been worse lately, I usually get more junkie in the > spring/fall but it seemed to have happened much earlier this year.
