4 Safety Checks for a Prescription Glycopyrronium Sweat Cloth

Keep the handwashing step beside the application instructions when you start this prescription.

Four checks against the patient leaflet

1. Use it only where prescribed. Apply only to clean, dry, intact underarm skin. Avoid other areas, broken skin, plastic dressings, heat and flame.¹

2. Discard the cloth, then wash your hands. Discard the used cloth out of reach of children and others, then immediately wash with soap and water. Avoid touching your eyes.¹²

3. Know the blurred-vision instruction. If vision becomes blurred, stop using the medicine and call the prescriber. Do not drive, operate machinery or do hazardous work until vision clears. Confirm this instruction with the clinic.¹

4. Report bladder or heat symptoms. Stop and call right away for new trouble urinating. In hot conditions, stop using it if sweating decreases elsewhere. Ask the prescriber to explain the label’s heat-illness warning signs.¹

Review the health history too

Ask about the leaflet’s exclusions, including glaucoma and Sjögren’s syndrome. Review medicines, kidney or bladder problems, pregnancy and breastfeeding with the prescriber.¹

Arms Up lists a Fresh Log and visit script in its toolkit. They can organize sweating changes and questions for the prescriber. Keep the prescription’s patient leaflet with that record. See the book.
