Used forHyperhidrosis
Do not take glycopyrrolate if you have narrow-angle glaucoma or cannot empty your bladder. Because you sweat less, you can overheat in hot weather or during hard exercise. Drink water and rest in the shade.
Choosing the right dose for you
Your clinician starts low and adjusts slowly. The aim is the least sweating with the fewest side effects. The right amount differs from person to person.
Considerations include
- Where and how much you sweat
- Other medicines you take
- How well you tolerate dry mouth
- Age and kidney health
- How your sweating responds over time
How glycopyrrolate works
Glycopyrrolate quiets the signal that tells sweat glands to work
Sweat glands receive a chemical message from your nerves. This message is carried by a substance called acetylcholine. Glycopyrrolate blocks the places where acetylcholine acts, so the glands receive a weaker signal.
Because the effect is body-wide, you may also feel a dry mouth or dry eyes. Sweating usually returns to its earlier level when you stop the medicine.

Start my assessmentPossibly. You fill out a short health form, and a Canadian-licensed medical professional reviews your case. If glycopyrrolate is right for you, your clinician sends a prescription to your pharmacy. Some people need in-person care instead, and your clinician decides.
It blocks acetylcholine, the nerve message that tells sweat glands to release sweat. With a weaker signal, the glands make less sweat. The effect is felt across the whole body, not in one spot.
Some people notice less sweating within days. The full effect can take a few weeks while your clinician adjusts the dose. Sweating often returns when you stop.
A dry mouth is the most common. Blurred vision, constipation, trouble passing urine, dizziness and headache can also occur. Tell your clinician if an effect bothers you, and seek urgent care for severe eye pain or if you cannot pass urine.
People with narrow-angle glaucoma, a blocked bowel, urinary retention, severe colitis or myasthenia gravis should not take it. Your clinician reviews your history and your medicines before any prescription.
Yes. Other options exist, such as clinic procedures and products you apply to the skin. Your clinician talks about the choices with you and may suggest in-person care.
Many people keep using an antiperspirant on the skin as well. Tell your clinician about every medicine you take, because other drugs with a drying effect can add to the side effects.
Tell your clinician if you are pregnant, plan to be pregnant or are breastfeeding. Your clinician decides if glycopyrrolate is right for you.
Each consultation costs CA$175. Your pharmacy charges separately for medication. Ask your insurer whether your plan covers the prescribed treatment.
Health Canada requires a generic to have the same active ingredient as the brand. Your pharmacist may offer either one. Ask your clinician if you need a specific product.
Your Care Team checks in before each refill. Your clinician may ask for photos or an update on how you feel. If glycopyrrolate is still right for you, the prescription is renewed and sent to your pharmacy.
