Gylcopyrrolate solution Pinker question

blong

Hi, I have heard and read articles on the effectiveness of gylcopyrrolate solution in iontophoresis but I have come across some problems in finding it, and questions about its use:

1. Has anyone heard of gylcopyrrolate solution for iontophoresis being available in the USA? I know in the UK there is a company (Nova labs) but there does not seem to be anyone in the USA who makes it. Does anyone know if it would be legal to have someone in the UK buy it and then sell/ship it to someone in the states?

2. Has anyone else (besides Pinker) had a problem will the solution becoming ineffective after a time? Pinker, did you start getting unsatisfactory results and then stopped using it or did you just stop and regular tap water worked just as well?

Thanks!

-Ben

I have tried to find gylcopyrrolate solution in the past with no luck. My pharmacist tried to track it down for me (I worked at his pharmacy in high school, so sometimes he helps me out!), and found that it could be ordered, but it was absurdly expensive. I have tried crushing robinul tablets into the trays, but it doesn't work that well, likely because it doesn't entirely dissolve.

There was one person on here who said they use it in the states, but I can't remember for the life of me who it was. I've read Nova labs would post to Ireland (postage is quite high though), so maybe they would post abroad.

Ben, I would say I used the solution for around 6 to 9 months, when I first used it it was really really strong, but by the end of that time it didn't seem to work much at all, I didn't experience any side effects by the end either which lead me to believe I had become immune to it somehow. This was with the 0.05% strength. I could probably ask Nova labs for a stronger strength so it would work again, but i'd rather stick with tap water because I get decent results (sometimes very good), and it doesn't give me any side effects.
