Method of administration:

Your doctor will give you Glycopyrronium Bromide Powder using a technique known as iontophoresis, which enables the drug to be passed through the skin by means of an electric current. Glycopyrronium Bromide Powder is made into a solution and then poured into a non-metal container with a large piece of sheet metal (known as an anode) used to conduct electricity. The palm of your hand or sole of your foot will be placed in the solution and separated from the metal sheet by plastic foam or a layer of lint or a sponge sheet.

At the same time, another limb is placed in a similar container holding luke warm tap water instead of a solution of Glycopyrronium Bromide Powder. As before, your limb will be shielded from the metal sheet (this time called the cathode) used to conduct electricity by plastic foam or a lint or sponge sheet. The electric current will vary according to your age. Treatment will last about 12 minutes but will depend on your skin tolerance, body weight and size. Only one site will be treated at a time and only two sites will be treated in any one day. Your treatment will not be repeated within seven days but may be repeated later, perhaps varying the treatment, according to your condition.

If you use more Glycopyrronium Bromide Powder than you should:

This is unlikely because the dose will be administered by a healthcare professional. If you suspect you have been given too much, you should tell the doctor immediately.

If you have any further questions on the use of this medicine ask your doctor, pharmacist or nurse.
