BENEFITS OF GLYOLET INJECTION

In General Anaesthesia

Glyolet 200mcg Injection is used before and during surgery to reduce secretions of the mouth, throat, or stomach, such as saliva, stomach acid, or to prevent problems related to heart rhythm during anesthesia, intubation, or surgery. It also helps decrease the unwanted effects that may be caused by certain medicines like, neostigmine, pyridostigmine, etc. It is given by a specialist doctor called an anesthetist in a hospital setup.

In Peptic ulcer disease

Peptic ulcer disease is a condition in which painful sores or ulcers develop in the inner lining of the stomach or gut (intestine). Glyolet 200mcg Injection reduces the amount of acid your stomach makes which prevents further damage to the ulcer as it heals naturally. You may be given other medicines along with this medicine depending on what caused the ulcer.
