We present an institutional review of children with hyperhidrosis treated with oral glycopyrrolate.

The most common dosing regimen was 1?mg/day, although this varied as families adjusted the dose based on results and side effects. Overall, 11 patients (92%) had improvement, with 4 claiming major improvement. Patients who stopped treatment had limited benefit. Seven patients noted side effects, including dry mouth (n?=?6), constipation (n?=?1), dizziness (n?=?1), and facial swelling (n?=?1). Six patients (50%) were still taking oral glycopyrrolate at the time of the interview. Nine patients (75%) would recommend glycopyrrolate to others. Therapeutic options are limited for hyperhidrosis in children and adolescents.
