Claim Text:
1. A method of treating hyperhidrosis in a mammalian subject, said method comprising topically administering a composition comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle and from about 1.0% to about 25% of a compound having the formula: wherein R is methyl or ethyl, said compound having the R stereoisomeric configuration at the 2 position and the R or RS steroisomeric configuration at the 1′ and 3′ position, said compound being selected from the group consisting of: (iii) (2R) 3-(2-cyclopentyl-2-phenyl-2-hydroxyacetoxy)-1-(methoxycarbonylmethyl)-1-methylpyrrolidinium bromide; (iv) (2R) 3-(2-cyclopentyl-2-phenyl-2-hydroxyacetoxy)-1-(ethoxycarbonylmethyl)-1-methylpyrrolidinium bromide; (v) (2R,3′R) 3-(2-cyclopentyl-2-phenyl-2-hydroxyacetoxy)-1-(methoxycarbonylmethyl)-1-methylpyrrolidinium bromide; and (vii) (2R,3′R) 3-(2-cyclopentyl-2-phenyl-2-hydroxyacetoxy)-1-(ethoxycarbonylmethyl)-1-methylpyrrolidinium bromide; or being a mixture thereof; to skin of an area of a mammalian subject suffering from hyperhidosis, before bedtime, such that, compared to untreated, baseline conditions, sweat production is reduced by at least about 25% for at least about six (6) hours; and such that sweat production is reduced by an amount substantially equivalent to an amount that sweat production is reduced as compared to untreated, baseline conditions, following administration of a composition comprising the same concentration of glycopyrrolate, and with an improved safety profile compared to topical glycopyrrolate.
