Off-Label Use of Topical Glycopyrrolate in Residual Limb Hyperhidrosis

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Dr. Nicholas Anacarico and Dr. Sarah Salas discuss their research on topical glycopyrrolate for severe residual limb hyperhidrosis in amputee patients. They present two case studies of patients with hyperhidrosis that did not improve with prosthetic changes. Both patients were treated with topical glycopyrrolate patches, resulting in a significant decrease in their hyperhidrosis. The study suggests that severe hyperhidrosis in residual limbs may be related to poor prosthetic socket fit and that topical glycopyrrolate patches can be an effective treatment option. However, further research is needed to explore other therapeutic options and underlying causes of hyperhidrosis in amputee patients.
