Am i having an allergic reaction to my medicine?!

Am i having an allergic reaction to my medicine?

hi, i have a condition called hyperhidrosis and my doctor gave me medicine to take, it is called glycopyrrolate and i was wondering could this cause an allergic reaction? i dont take it everyday but the days i do take it, my skin gets really itchy- especially on my face. that may sound strange but it has been happening after i started taking this medicine, so could it be the medicine? has anyone else had this problem? please help if you can, thanks :)

Hi , you need to stop a acceptance this medication. Robinul® (generic name: glycopyrrolate) is good oral drug used for hyperhidrosis problems, but you have side effect, allergic reaction is frequent phenomena for glycopyrrolate. You can have also a dry mouth or dry throat often leading to pain in these areas.

Hyperhidrosis can usually be treated, but there is no cure.
You can use Aluminum chloride (hexahydrate) solution: Common brands of aluminum cholride solution (as anti-perspirant) include "MegaDry®" (which uses a non-irritating blend of aluminum chlorohydrate), Drysol®, CertainDri®, Odaban®, and Driclor®.

Or other oral drugs to treat the condition for example: propantheline bromide (Probanthine®) and benztropine (Cogentin®), also Zoloft®, often help alleviate symptoms. I would recommend a discussed with your doctor.
