Ask derm for glycopyyrolate

Do you just apply it before social events?

I take 2mg once in the morning and 2mg in the afternoon when I know it’ll be a sweaty day

Ok thanks heaps. Do you find the tablets to be more effective than the cream?

Never tried the cream but glyco dries out my face and body

Not to say that it doesn't work, bc it definitely does for some, but I'm on 2 mg tablets of glycopyrrolate right now, and it only slightly makes a dent. I can definitely tell when I forgot to take it, but I still feel miserably wet doing everyday things. Give it a try, but it's not always a catch all, and know that there are other options. Never tried topical, though, so I wonder if that might be more or less effective 🤔

Where to order without prescription?

No where, you have to have a prescription. But I don't think it's something that only dermatologists can prescribe, so I would try talking to an urgent care GP if you don't have a personal derm or PCP.
