Oral Med I Got Today to help *UK* (Pro-Banthine)

[teandtoast]

went to doctors today for something else and while sitting there waiting I thought would ask if any oral med to help with HH ...just on the off chance... (as the underarm things roll ons dont work for me anymore and botox worn off) wasn't expecting the guy to say had anything as mentioned before and they dismissed...

anyway he gave me Pro-Banthine (Propantheline bromide) to give a go...go to take 3 tablets a day...basically same kinda thing as stuff u get in the US i think...

anyway will see how i get on...will keep updated

worth tryin anyone else in UK looking for something to try :wink:

I have been using this for about 2 years and has been pretty effective for me and I have posted many threads on the subject.

I suffer from cranial HH in that i sweat profusely from the face, head and neck even through mild exersion or in hot weather. Even this last weekend I was putting together a shelf unit and the sweat was pouring off my chin.

I use probanthine sparingly when i know i will be in a hot or awkward environment in a social or work situation. I take 1 or 2 tablets on an empty stomach ( it doesn't work after you have eaten) and it generally works well for me for 3-4 hours. Side effects include a dry mouth but no real issues. It has made a huge difference to my life overall but sometimes fails when taken repeatedly over a day in very hot conditions when the benefits reduce.

In the winter, I tend to take just a few tablets a month and in the summer just a few tablets a week depending upon my schedule. I;m sure that we'll all be different in our needs and reaction to them though ....

Well I tried these on thursday and I have to wow

I took 2 at 7.30 when woke up so would hopefully be working by 9 when started work...usually after getting train and arriving at work I would be all sweaty but to my suprise was totally dry

I had a meeting at 10 which I usually dread as sweat all the way through it badly but after I was still dry
I took another at 11 and then at 2 so lasted me the whole way through work and to my amazement lasted whole day totally dry

I usually have to have a shower at work at lunch as sweat so much get all smelly by lunch which is horrible but was chuffed for the first time in ages didnt have to

overall Im amazed at how well these have worked...I found they last about 4hours...just hoping I dont become immune to them and they stop working...when I dont need to be dry like when at home not going to take them I think so body doesnt get to used to used to them n then hopefully doesnt become immune

only supposed to take 3 a day but Ive been taking more as and when needed

Id really recommend these im really pleased with the results not had anything else work so well in my 4 years of having HH and all the different products Ive tried

*I must add I suffer from underarm HH

Also side effects are having bit of dry mouth n needing to drink water alot which isnt really a problem.
Also sometimes feel like needing a pee and not being able to go properly

Hey, it's great you have found something as is working for you! Just once thing though, more is not always better. If they say no more than 3 a day, it's for a reason. You don't want to damage your body do you?

Do you by any chance if it works for plantar HH ?

Thanks and good luck!

I know they say 3 a day but I think is just a guideline and tbh if I need to take more to stop me sweating when needed I will as I would rather take the risk tbh

I have been taking generally 3 a day just sometimes have to take 3 when in certain situations

still goin pretty well so far

only thing is found not being able to eat all day as u have to take em on a empty stomach which bit shit but hey if thats what it takes then so be it (I dont eat at work i may add as that is when dont want to sweat then when finish at 5 eat to fck :lol: )

There´s nothing you can eat that will cure this problem. Sorry, but that´s how it is.

I didn't say it had cured it :roll: I said it I said it had helped greatly when I use them :idea:

I think this supplement is used mainly with Bromihidrosis (excessive odor caused by sweating). It neutralized the odor cause by your gland secretions.

As for its application in lessening the sweating itself, I'm still a bit skeptical.

well its worked well for me...I used to get train to work and be disgustingy sweaty by time got there (half hour or so away) now get there and pratically dry and stay that day for whole day (as long as don't have anything really stressful on).

I couldn't quite believe it myself as tried few others similar like ditropan and didn't do much

anyway don't dismiss it till youve tried it
