Hyperhidrosis Medication. Get Real Results!

Inappropriate Sweating is like winning the genetic lotto for obscure, unfortunate conditions. I mean, don't misunderstand what I mean. Life could be much worse than having a severe sweating problem. However , anyone existing with the unceasing sweat stains and clammy hands will tell you it's no day in the park. There's hope though and it all begins with a sorcery tiny pill called Robinul. Robinul is a wonderfully effective hyperhidrosis treatment that may be the missing ingredient to your sweat relief.



As much as Robinul has been claimed to be a miracle drug, it does not come without ANY downsides. In this piece you will hear the good points and bad points to establish if this is YOUR solution for getting the exaggerated sweating under control once and for all.



Let's commence with the name of the medication. Of course , if you suspect this is your next move to curing the relentless sweating, you will want to mention it to your skin specialist by name.



You can reference the drug as either Robinul or its more generic name, Glycopyrrolate.



Robinul works by reducing the secretions of certain organs in the body. These secretions are not just limited to your perspiration. It will also reduce your saliva and mucus in the lungs, nose and stomach. As you can imagine, dry mouth and dehydration are the biggest beefs among patients.



The drug was initially formed to control stomach ulcers by reducing stomach acid. Lucky for you, the reduction of excessive sweating was a nice small side benefit.



It isn't perfect though. There are an entire crop of unpleasant side-effects that you will be sacrificing to turn your sweat faucets off. They include



- headache, dizziness, or lightheadedness;

- weakness or nervousness;

- blurred vision, large pupils, or sensitiveness of the eyes to bright light;

- queasiness, bloating, angina, or constipation;

- changes in taste;

- difficulty urinating;

- reduced sweating ; or

- nasal congestion, stuffiness, or a dry mouth.



Sounds a little rough, huh?



Sorry if I sound like a drug commercial here, but i want to give you all the disclaimers before I tell you the particular results



If you plan on taking Robinul, may sure you are not driving or operating machinery. It could cause fatigue, dizziness and blurred sight. You cannot drink alcohol while taking it ( remember the dehydration I mentioned earlier? ). Also, it could cause overheating.



You'll be wanting to avoid this drug if you're pregnant, have raised blood pressure or any history of heart disease as well.



Are you thoroughly disinterested yet? Well hold your horses because I have not told you the good part.



Robinul WORKS! If you can tolerate all the other side effects, you will be ecstatic with the results.



BOTTOM LINE - you may feel a big difference in the level of sweat your experience if you even sweat at all.



Have I used it myself? No. I am not that cushty when i'm utterly dry or even over dry. I've used natural remedies to stifle my very own sweating. millions of others have tried Robinul and can't say enough pleasant things about the results.



These are some anonymous comments from patients who've been using the drug.



**********



Patient 1:

I've been taking Robinul for just over a half a year and the results have been inspiring. I started with Hyperhidrosis ( Of the hands, feet, face, and trunk ) during adolescence and it only got worse as time went on. I started dosing on Robinul at 1mg twice per day, morning and night. It was reasonably effective from winter into spring but summer made that dosage fairly ineffective. During Summer I needed to increase to about 3mgs a day, and although it's particularly useful, I continue to sweat occasionally. I still recommend this drug for anybody with mild Hyperhidrosis. For anyone who cannot find the right dose, you are just going to need to weigh the good points and bad points and decide from there.



Patient 2:

This was the'miracle drug' I was attempting to find. I have moderate-severe general Hyperhidrosis. Iontophoresis was not helping. After looking for Botox for my hands, as they are by far the worst, this was prescribed instead. What a difference! My hands have not been dry in over 5 years. It's only been a week, and I may look to up the dose to help with facial and plantar sweating ( that has been reduced but not quite as much ). Side effects are totally sufferable and far better than the pain I faced from the acute palmar HH.



Patient 3:

i've only been taking it for a week- 1mg twice a day. It has helped a little . Not an extreme difference though. I may decide to up the dosage. One obstacle is that I haven't really been able to wear my contacts as it makes my eyes so dry. I definitely experienced some serious headaches. Also, dry mouth was a little bit of a problem but I just popped some sucking candies in my mouth to alleviate the irritation.



**********



You can see that though these 3 patients had often positive experiences, adjusting dose and putting up with continued side-effects were definitely factors.



So, what do I recommend?



I err on the wary side when it comes to robinul for sweating. Particularly because Robinul comes with a whole bunch of other provisos and side-effects I haven't mentioned in this post. I do not want to frighten you away completely.



I recommend that you take the time to try every other natural cure first. If you have not attempted every conceivable fix you are not ready to make the leap with hyperhidrosis medicine. I mean everything, including prescription deodorants, sage tea solutions, facial sweating wipes, express diet additions, cleaning drinks, herbal remedies and so many others.
