A method for the production of crystalline glycopyrronium bromide, comprises the reaction of glycopyrronium base with methyl bromide in a solvent, in which the solvent is selected such that the diastereoisomeric ratio of the product favours the R, S and S, R diastereoisomers over the R, R, and S, S diastereoisomers, and separating the desired diastereoisomers by one or more controlled crystallisation steps. This method gives a product having a particle size of narrow distribution.
