Qbrexza (glycopyrronium) "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 anyways. 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"

Qbrexza (glycopyrronium) "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 wash clothes 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 very dry mouth but I deal with it with Acts dry mouth product and water. I am not longer scared/worried about being outside anymore . I can enjoy life"

Qbrexza (glycopyrronium) "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."

Qbrexza (glycopyrronium) "My dermatologist told me about the wipes I never knew about them, she gave me 2 weeks of samples and I literally noticed the difference within the first 3 days. I have suffered for 18 years and now it feels amazing to be have dry underarms! I can wear white shirts again, I can wear anything! However, I do notice the dry mouth at times. Just drink lots of water and ONLY wipe once per arm when I wipe more than once the dry mouth is worst. Truly a change in my life."

Qbrexza (glycopyrronium) "I've experienced severe hyperhidrosis for over 20 years. My dermatologist had a sample and suggested it. I followed the instructions applying to both underarms in the late afternoon. I woke up in the middle of the night with a major headache, dry mouth and throat that felt like it was swollen. Drank water and it was painful going down and caused a sore throat. I will say that it was effective the following day with no sweat. However I had to leave work due to fatigue. This product works without question. I will not take it again because the risks outweigh the reward. I would recommend them going with a smaller dosage to minimize the symptoms."

Qbrexza (glycopyrronium) "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 eventually took supplements for dry mouth ) but passed through with the thought it could get better and I had a temporarily sense of normality. The symptoms never left and eventually the wipes stopped working for me all together , would apply them and endure the stinging but still sweated excessively . Trying miradry soon ."

Qbrexza (glycopyrronium) "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."

Qbrexza (glycopyrronium) "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 0700-1900 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 with trying to ignore these severe side effects. In the previous attempts months ago the side effects were no where near as strong."

Qbrexza (glycopyrronium) "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."

Qbrexza (glycopyrronium) "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."

Qbrexza (glycopyrronium) "I have only been using glycopyrrium 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 a 3 hours to go after the application. Qbreaxa works it's just the side effects. I don't like the feeling that I don't have enough salvia in my mouth to swallow food, I choke like a baby."

Qbrexza (glycopyrronium) "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."

Qbrexza (glycopyrronium) "I’ve been using oral glycopyrolate 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."

Qbrexza (glycopyrronium) "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's or 1/4's and used every other day? Would this help?"

Qbrexza (glycopyrronium) "This product works as other users had indicated, but I am starting to experience blurry vision and dilated pupils to the point where my eyes look scary. Although the product works, the issues with my eyes have me creeped out so I'm going to be stopping use of this product."

Qbrexza (glycopyrronium) "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 ENT scoped 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 8-10x a night."

Qbrexza (glycopyrronium) "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."
