I'm 22 years old and suffering from craniofacial hyperhidrosis (excessive face sweating which is uncontrollable when visiting outside) from many years. It makes me uncomfortable during interaction so I take opinion from dermatologist regarding this and he prescribed glycolate (glycopyrrolate) and this medicine is miracle as it works great and no more sweating even at high temperature. Now I feel confident after taking glycolate (few side effects like dry mouth, constipation,dry skin which is bearable. So my query is 1. Is glycopyrrolate 2 mg safe in long term of taken regularly? 2. Does it cause any organ failure? 3. Is exercise safe while taking this? Past history - asthma and g6pd deficiency by birth.
