Airz 50mcg Tablet

Introduction

Airz is a prescription medication that contains the active ingredient Glycopyrrolate. It is available under the brand name Airz. This medication is primarily used to treat excessive sweating, a condition known as hyperhidrosis.

Uses

Airz is prescribed to manage the symptoms of hyperhidrosis, a condition characterized by excessive sweating. It can help control sweating in areas such as the palms, soles of the feet, underarms, and face. By reducing excessive sweating, Airz can improve the quality of life for individuals with hyperhidrosis.

Dosage and Administration

Airz should be taken exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. The dosage may vary depending on the severity of your condition and your individual response to the medication. Follow the instructions provided by your healthcare professional.

Generally, the recommended starting dose for adults is 1 to 2 tablets taken once daily. Your doctor may adjust the dose based on your response and any side effects you may experience. It is important not to exceed the prescribed dose without consulting your healthcare provider.

Airz should be taken orally, with or without food. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Do not crush, chew, or break the tablet unless instructed to do so by your doctor.

Mechanism of Action

Glycopyrrolate, the active ingredient in Airz, belongs to a class of medications called anticholinergics. It works by blocking the action of a chemical messenger called acetylcholine, which plays a role in stimulating sweat glands.

By inhibiting the effects of acetylcholine, Glycopyrrolate reduces the production of sweat, thereby alleviating excessive sweating associated with hyperhidrosis.
