HYPERHIDROSIS KNOWLEDGE AND SCIENCE

AUGUST 2006: Non-Surgical treatments for hyperhidrosis

Medical Publication:

Mydriasis and accommodative failure from exposure to topical glycopyrrolate used in hyperhydrosis.

Journal of Neuroophthalmology 26(3):232-3, 2006.

Synopsis: Topically applied glycopyrrolate can help sweating but can cause ocular side effects.

Glycopyrrolate is a drug used to treat ulcers. It acts by blocking the cholinergic system of nerves in the gut, thereby decreasing acid secretion. This anticholinergic effect is also helpful in reducing sweating. Previous reports have shown that topical glycopyrrolate can have some effect on reducing excessive sweating.

Side effects of orally administered glycopyrrolate may include dry mouth, decreased sweating, blurred vision, loss of tastes, headaches, nervousness, upset stomach and dizziness. The authors of this publication showed that topically applied glycopyrrolate can exhibit some side effects that have been noted in the oral form as well, i.e. blurred vision.

Conclusion: Topically applied products can have side effects, too. Glycopyrrolate is a prescription drug, and with good reason, excessive sweating sufferers, stay way.
