Glycopyrrolate is an anticholinergic drug which slows the activity of the salivary glands, stomach and intestinal tract, thus relieving cramping and reducing acid secretion. It is commonlu used in the treatment of peptic ulcers, but also has a specific use in ALS/MND of reducing excess saliva.
Advice & Tips:
The slight benefit in decreased saliva wasn't worth the severe constipation.

Advice & Tips:
My doctor suggested taking Glycopyrrolate with the Omeprazole, since alone the first one provides insufficient relief. Seems their actions compliment each other's, which provides additional acid reflux relief. Now after a month of taking both, most days I have very good results and have been able to eliminate relying on Alka Seltzer or baking soda.
