Glycopyrronium topical "This worked great for my armpits, but I’ve been sick for two months and only just realized this is the cause of it. Dry mouth/throat, can’t see due to blurry and out of focus, urine retention, infected throat. I've been to my family doctor four times in a month, had two antibiotics, had an ENT scope my nose, had an upper endoscopy in a week, and am about to see a urologist. Multiple blood tests and urine tests were run and all came back fine. It hit me all of a sudden, I thought about these wipes. My family doctor was not aware I used them. The dermatologist refused to accept this is caused by these wipes and wanted me to continue. I will not continue to use this. I’ve literally been sick for two months over these wipes. Barely sleeping because of having to use the bathroom 8-10 times a night."

Glycopyrronium topical "Overall, A- experience. At initial use, caused a little excess drying near the underarms - went away in about a week. I am on my third month of Qbrexza and have no side effects. I am also using it on my feet (off label). It has cured my underarm and foot sweat. I don't use it every day. Not sure if it makes sense outside of my head, but I can feel if it's going to be a sweaty day or not. Based on that, I may only need to use a wipe every second or third day. Prior to starting Qbrexza, I was on glycopyrrolate and oxybutynin - both dried me out 200% - I give them both an F-. Qbrexza is the way to go."

Glycopyrronium topical "Qbrexza has made my life so much better. I used to sweat through a shirt within 5 minutes of putting it on. I dreaded school and work, where I had to wear uniform shirts that weren’t black. It was so bad that I bought underarm liners to hide the sweating. Now I put on whatever I want and don’t even have to worry about it. The side effects really aren’t that bad. If you want to fix the sweating issue, then you’re going to have to deal with some side effects. I’ve had all the side effects: blurred vision, dry mouth, etc. They go away completely after about a month of use anyway. The only one I’ve noticed has gotten worse is itching. I’d recommend using deodorant without aluminum and fanning the application site after using the wipe. If you don’t let the medication dry, it doesn’t work as effectively."

Glycopyrronium topical "Worked great the first week, and then I got the most horrible rash that keeps getting worse and is spreading, although I stopped taking the medication 10 days ago. My mouth began to get so dry to the point of choking. I am still itchy, red, and irritated, and the rash is spreading down my arms and breasts. Qbrexza stops the sweating, but the side effects are dangerous."

Glycopyrronium topical "Worked a little bit too well, always try before you buy! I got a sample of Qbrexza from my dermatologist. I followed the directions (washing my hands to make sure it didn’t get into my mouth or eyes), used it on my underarms, and within 4 hours I had a super dry throat! Could barely talk. When I woke up the next day, it was the worst thing ever. My mouth and throat were so dry and swollen I felt like I was choking trying to breathe. I couldn’t drink anything because it hurt so badly to swallow. My tongue was bright white and my eyes bright red. Everything hurt so badly I wanted to cry (but I couldn’t)! It worked well for sweating, but I recommend you try it out to see how you react before getting a full prescription... As someone who tends to be a bit more sensitive to drugs and a teen, I will not continue using :("

Glycopyrronium topical "I have been using this product for over one month, and this has changed my life for the good. I had to wear pads under my arms and take soap and a washcloth to work and wash my armpits at work and keep clinical deodorant on me at all times. When I wake up in the morning, I am sweating, and my pits would stink. I used this product at night and woke up sweat-free with no foul smell. However, I have a very dry mouth, but I deal with it with Act's dry mouth product and water. I am no longer scared/worried about being outside anymore. I can enjoy life."

Glycopyrronium topical "Used it once and will be throwing it away immediately. I can't imagine what is in this to cause these side effects. My throat is so dry, I'm panicking and feel like I might choke. My skin is bright red, never experienced that before. I would rather sweat my ass off than feel like this. Can't be safe."

Glycopyrronium topical "Started with samples of Qbrexza during their trial phase, I’ve been prescribed these wipes for over a year. I endured the horrible side effects: blurred vision, dry mouth (excessively dry, I couldn’t talk or eat and eventually took supplements for dry mouth), but passed through with the thought it could get better and I had a temporary sense of normality. The symptoms never left, and eventually the wipes stopped working for me altogether, I would apply them and endure the stinging but still sweated excessively. Trying Miradry soon."

Glycopyrronium topical "I used it once as directed, and the side effects I had were horrible. I almost passed out. My hands and face got swollen and red, I had excessive dry mouth and throat, couldn’t even drink water, and a terrible headache for 24 hours. I've never had an allergic reaction to any kind of medication before."

Glycopyrronium topical "I have hyperhidrosis of the groin and head. My dermatologist prescribed me Qbrexza for my groin area. It started working from day one, but so did the side effects. The dry mouth is extremely horrible! I couldn't swallow, eat, or drink because my throat felt as if it was stuck together. I thought that maybe using it every other day would help, but it didn't. As soon as I applied it, my mouth was immediately dry and would just get worse. I loved that my groin area was dry for the first time in years, but the side effects are just too bad to continue to use it."

Glycopyrronium topical "Qbrexza works incredibly well as far as eliminating underarm sweat goes, but the side effects are either at 10% intensity or 100%, and it’s best to avoid figuring out how you’ll react. I had used one wipe under both armpits, followed by washing my hands thoroughly, and then went to bed. I woke up the next morning, unable to swallow due to no saliva in my mouth. I had difficulty with distance vision (I thought I had forgotten to put my contact lens in) and was unable to urinate unless I applied pressure to my bladder/leaned forward on the toilet. I had chugged nine water bottles from 0700 to 1900 and was able to recover by the end of my shift, aside from the urinary retention, which hopefully improves soon. The side effects outweigh the benefits, and not always will you feel the 100% intensity of side effects until you ruin your day by trying to ignore these severe side effects. In the previous attempts months ago, the side effects were nowhere near as strong."

Glycopyrronium topical "Absolutely horrible side effects. Such dry mouth, nose, and throat. I’m not sure if it’s from dry mouth, but it felt like it altered my sense of taste. Wouldn’t ever recommend. The side effects aren’t worth the reward."

Glycopyrronium topical "I have severe underarm sweat. I was prescribed this by my dermatologist. When I tried it for the first day, it worked! But it never worked a single day after. It did not even decrease my sweating. I did not experience any side effects, but I also didn't experience anything in general."

Glycopyrronium topical "I have only been using glycopyrrolate for 2 weeks. No side effects the 1st week, but the 2nd week I'm having severe trouble swallowing food without drinking water. It's scary. I also don't like the burning under my arms, it takes 3 hours to go away after the application. Qbrexza works, it's just the side effects. I don't like the feeling that I don't have enough saliva in my mouth to swallow food. I choke like a baby."

Glycopyrronium topical "So I have tried these Qbrexza towelettes, and OMG, the side effects are so bad. Severe dry mouth, throat, nose, eyes. I wear contacts and couldn't wear them as my eyes were so dry, plus enlarged pupils and extreme sensitivity to light. I have excessive sweating on the face and head, and it helped. So very upset I had to stop using. My question is, can I cut the towelettes in 1/2 or 1/4 and use them every other day? Would this help?"

Glycopyrronium topical "As someone who has struggled with excessive sweating for years, Qbrexza has been nothing short of a miracle. From the moment I tried it, I knew I had found the answer to my problem. The application is so easy; a simple swipe and I can go about my day without worrying about embarrassing sweat stains or discomfort. What's truly amazing is how quickly it works. Within minutes, I noticed a significant reduction in sweating, and it lasted all day long. What I love most about Qbrexza is that it works 100% of the time. I can confidently wear light-colored clothes and participate in social events without the constant anxiety about sweat marks. This medication has truly given me my confidence back. My only regret is that I didn't find Qbrexza sooner. It's a game-changer for anyone dealing with hyperhidrosis. If you're on the fence about trying it, I highly recommend giving it a shot. You won't be disappointed!"

Glycopyrronium topical "I had the same experience as another user. I had no idea that my extremely dry mouth (to the point where I couldn't eat) and dry eyes were a side effect until I started Googling my symptoms. I have also stopped sweating anywhere on my body. I work out about 30-45 minutes each day, and I have had zero sweat since I started using this product consistently. I honestly thought that something else was very wrong with me, so I am a little relieved to see that this is a side effect. I would much rather sweat than have these issues. Definitely prevents sweat, but not worth it due to the side effects."

Glycopyrronium topical "I’ve been using oral glycopyrrolate for my palmar hyperhidrosis for a few years. It helps, but dries the rest of my body out, which feels super uncomfortable. I have been trying these wipes instead, which somewhat help the sweating with less side effects. Yesterday my contact fell out, and I wasn’t able to wash my hands before putting it back in. A few hours later, my pupil was dilated. I had a minor panic, as I did not know what caused this. After doing some research, I found this can be caused by Qbrexza. Be careful if using on your hands and avoid contact with eyes."

"For most of my 72 years, excessive underarm sweating was intolerable. Recently, my dermatologist recommended glycopyrronium, which, to my happiness, works!"

Glycopyrronium topical "Worked for my hyperhidrosis of the palms. My dermatologist suggested giving it a try at night and using one of those wipes in each palm. Provided me with free samples. Worked to get rid of the sweat, but the side effects of this medication are horrible. Blurred vision, dilated pupils, and very sensitive to the light. I’ll take the sweat any time over those side effects! Would not use again!"
