Cuvposa Information

Cuvposa (Glycopyrrolate) is an anticholinergic medication specifically used to reduce chronic, severe drooling (sialorrhea) in children aged 3 to 18 years who have underlying neurologic conditions, such as cerebral palsy.

Glycopyrrolate works by physically blocking the action of acetylcholine, a natural chemical messenger that signals glands to produce fluids. Under normal circumstances, acetylcholine attaches to specialized muscarinic receptors on target cells, triggering the release of saliva, mucus, or stomach acid.

When Cuvposa is ingested, the drug binds directly to these same receptors instead. It acts as a physical barrier without triggering any saliva production, effectively preventing acetylcholine from delivering its signal. Because the glands never receive the signal to secrete saliva, saliva production slows significantly, reducing drooling.

Glycopyrrolate carries a permanent positive electrical charge, and as a result, it cannot easily cross the protective blood-brain barrier. This keeps its blocking action confined to the body's peripheral tissues, allowing it to reduce drooling without causing central nervous system side effects like confusion or severe drowsiness.
