I've been using Glycopyrrolate for around 10 months or so now. It has been very successful at reducing my hyperhidrosis of the hands and feet. One 20 minute treatment of the area (10 minutes on each polatity) will usually make my hand/foot 95-100% dry for a week or longer before the sweating of the ...

My sweaty hands would make me feel very conscious of people around me and I would get anxious about situations which might expose my hyperhidrosis to others, because I found it pretty emba...

I would say it will take you around 10 treatments on a reasonable current to start seeing a noticable difference possibly a halt in sweating.

Hey Pinker where are you from and was it covered by your national health care system or was it through private insurance? I did initial treatments at an NHS hospital, I then decided to purchase the machine and they subcidised the cost of the Idrostar machine for me in conjunction with STD pharmaceu...

I have used 0.05% Glycopyrronium solution myself. Water is not completely effective for me in curing my palmar hyperhidrosis but one treatment alone with glycopyrrolate dried my hands for almost a week.

I will be using this on a permanent basis for my palmer hyperhidrosis.
