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.

Reply:Itchy irritated skin is one of the most common allergic reactions to anything. Since it sounds like you have noticed it happening right after the medication, I would suspect it could be the cause. Read the paperwork your pharmacist gave with the medication, or give him a call first. I would definately contact the doctor.
Reply:Here are some links but I think you should call your doctor and tell him this.

Reply:Ask your doctor for syde effects and see if they match. Try going on the internet and searching up the medication name. Also, if you see any swelling, go to the doctor immediately. An allergy can flare up with continious use, and even make your tongue and throat swell up, making it hard to breathe! Ask your doctor if it a bad sign, and maybe he can switch your medications!
