Purpose of this study: Was to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of Glycopyrrolate iontophoresis versus tap water iontophoresis in treatment of palmar hyperhidrosis. thirty patients participated in the study. Their ages ranges from 15 to 35 years old. They were divided into two groups, Group (A); 15 patients received 4 weeks treatment with glycopyrrolate iontophoresis using continuous direct current on their hands, 3sessions per week, every session last for 30 minutes. The second Group (B); 15 patients received 4 weeks treatment using tap water iontophoresis using continuous direct current on their hands, 3 sessions per week, every session last for 30 minute. Showed a significant improvement in sweat output mass and in hyperhidrosis disease severity scale in group (A) more than in group (B). It was concluded that both modalities were effective but glycopyrrolate iontophoresis was more effective than tap water iontophoresis in the treatment of palmar hyperhidrosis
