Iontophoretic treatment of the plantar and palmar skin for idiopathic

4.2 Posology and method of administration
Posology
A 0.05% solution in distilled water of Glycopyrrolate USP is applied
to palmar or plantar skin. The
procedure should be carried out as per instructions given in 'Method
of administration'.
Only one site should be treated at a time and only two sites in any
one day. Treatments should not be
repeated within seven days, but may be repeated later varying the
precise conditions according to the
recurrence and severity of hyperhidrosis. See also 'Special warnings
and special precautions for use'
below.
Method of administration: Iontophoresis
When treating the foot or hand, sufficient solution to cover the palm
or sole is placed in a non-metallic
container and the anode, of sheet metal larger in area than the part
being treated, is placed in the solution.
The sole or palm is separated from the anode by 5mm of plastic foam or
a layer of lint or sponge sheet.
In all cases an electrical circuit is completed by placing another
limb in lukewarm tap water containing
the cathode, similarly shielded from direct contact with the skin.
Recommended average conditions are 90 volts DC at 10-20 mA for adults
(including older patients) and
2-1
