Can Robinul interact with other medications or foods?

No medications or foods have been identified as interacting dangerously with Robinul (glycopyrrolate), which is prescribed to help treat peptic ulcers. However, Robinul may intensify the side effects of some drugs. Let your doctor know about all other prescription and over-the-counter drugs, vitamins and herbal supplements you are taking. Be especially sure to tell your doctor if you take any of the following:

• medications for anxiety, depression, mental illness, irritable bowel disease, motion sickness, Parkinson's disease, seizures, ulcers or urinary problems
• anticholinergics (a category of medications that work by blocking a certain chemical in the nervous system), such as some eyedrops and some drugs used for motion sickness
• ipratropium
• sedatives
• sleeping pills
• tranquilizers

Your doctor can often prevent or manage side effects by monitoring and possibly changing your medication regimen.
