Default Avert/Robinul - Tips/Dosage

Hi all,

It seems my HH is gradually getting worse, the warmer months in particular are getting harder. My HH is getting worse on the back and on my face so I've ordered Avert from pharmacy.ca.

I've ordered the 1mg capsules as the pharmacist from pharmacy.ca suggested trying 1mg a day with 2-4mg a day the most usual dosage.

I'm just wondering what works for who and how bad your HH is. For myself, temperatures over 25C and my forehead will get wet and close to dripping with my back getting damp/wet but not seen through my clothes.

What kind of dosage do people take and how often? Is taking 1mg once or twice a day realistic?

Be great to hear from Avert/Robinul users.

I don't like saying much about dosage--would say to try pharmacy.ca's suggestion, as they are the professionals.

When I first got Avert (from them), the advice was "up to 8 mg a day in divided doses".

When I take it (yay for the colder weather), I take 4-6 mg a day.

Still, try with the lowest dose first--we'd all rather take the least amount that works.

I take 2mg avert only once a day, but not everyday. I only take it on special occasions.

Hey, I've been trying to establish a good dose, and was wondering what the maximum amount of mg you can take before it starts to become an over dose? I have 1mg capsules, and so far I've tried 4mg at once with little to no effects. Is this something you have to take everyday for it to start working?

Thanks all for replying, I'll try 1mg a day at least 30 mins before eating and see how that goes. Just waiting on my order now but thankfully we are going through a cool spell atm so a bit lucky.

Btw, pharmacy.ca suggest 8mg maximum a day with no more than 4mg at any one time, with the standard dosage being 2mg-4mg a day.

Thought that might help people with a guideline for Avert/Robinul dosage but it's an individual thing as is HH.

I take 2mg 2x day of Robinul and it's been a miracle for me. started about a year ago and my hands have been very dry. underarms still sweat a little but i can manage that with Odaban. it should be effective after the first 2 or 3 doses. i take one when i wake up in the morning and one around lunch which seems to work well for me. if i miss a dose i definitley feel some sweat coming on so i try not to skip doses. just make sure your getting a quality product, i can't speak to Canadian Pharma. I am in the US and gettin the product in the US

My Derm told me that 2mg 2x day is a pretty standard dose and she made it sound like deviating from that would not help. it started working after 2 doses for me but continued use is necessary.

There's no real buildup of glyco, so no, you don't have to take it each day.

Where I am, we're in a period of cold weather. I still take 4 mg a day if I'm going to be exercising, but go without any on other days.
