topical glycopyrrolate licensed in Ireland?

Sitric

Question for the pharmacists, does anyone know if topical glycopyrrolate is available in Ireland?

SomeDose

It's an unlicensed product, although that doesn't mean it's not available in Ireland. In my experience, it's usually made to order - I've sourced some on a couple of occasions from a hospital pharmacy compounding unit.

Typically only prescribed by consultant dermatologists and/or diabetologists.

forgive the question but what is this used for

SomeDose

Without reference to the OP, normally only used as an anti-muscarinic for hyperhydrhosis or diabetic gustatory sweating.

Thanks for that

Have vague memory of using it years ago when reversing anaesthesia, iv version not topical obviously

Sitric

Yeah, it's used iv in anaesthesia. (Robinul?), I was wondering if it was used here for gustatory sweating and if it could be sourced.

Short report here about it's use in hyperhidrosis
