Posology. Adults and Elderly: 1 - 2ml intravenously over a period of 10 - 30 seconds [equivalent to neostigmine metilsulfate 2500 micrograms (2.5mg) with glycopyrrolate 500 micrograms (0.5mg) to neostigmine metilsulfate 5000 micrograms (5mg) with glycopyrrolate 1000 micrograms (1mg)].
GLYCOPYRROLATE AND NEOSTIGMINE METHYLSULFATE INJECTION is an anticholinergic (antimuscarinic) agent. Chemically, Glycopyrrolate is Pyrrolidinium
First: Mix 2.5 mg of neostigmine and 0.4 mg of glycopyrrolate (or 1.2 mg of atropine) in the same syringe. Second: Add saline to make a 5-mL solution. If neostigmine comes in 1 mg mL 1 and glycopyrrolate comes in 0.2 mg mL 1, the neostigmine (2.5 mg)-glycopyrrolate (0.4 mg) mixture is 4.5 mL, to which one would add 0.5 mL of saline.
Both neostigmine and neostigmine glycopyrrolate resulted in prompt bowel evacuation. The nadir heart rate was lower after neostigmine alone than with the combination. Neostigmine administration increased both total and central airway resistance, an effect that was not observed with the coadministration of glycopyrrolate.
Accidental intra-arterial injection of neostigmine with glycopyrrolate or atropine for reversal of residual neuromuscular blockade: a

We believe significant placental transfer of neostigmine occurred in our case. The fetal heart rate slowed when glycopyrrolate was used, inasmuch as neostigmine passed the placenta to a greater extent than glycopyrrolate and there was insufficient placental transfer of the anticholinergic drug to prevent the fetal muscarinic effect of neostigmine.
