What is Cuvposa?
Cuvposa belongs to a class of drugs known as anticholinergics.
Cuvposa inhibits acetylcholine receptors that are located on certain organs in the body, including salivary glands. Glycopyrrolate indirectly reduces the rate of saliva production by preventing the stimulation of these receptors.
Cuvposa is used to reduce drooling in children ages 3 to 16 who have certain medical conditions, such as cerebral palsy.
