Lyrinel XL is a tablet that treats hyperhidrosis, a condition that causes excessive sweating. Hyperhidrosis can either affect only certain areas of the body or make you sweat all over. It might also change your skin health by changing the colour or texture, or even causing an infection. For some people, it can affect their confidence too. But no matter how severe your hyperhidrosis is, Lyrinel XL can help.
Lyrinel XL is an off-label treatment for hyperhidrosis. This basically means that even though it’s been proven to be a safe and effective treatment for the condition, it doesn’t actually have the specific licence to treat it. So it won’t usually be the first thing you try to stop your sweating. A clinician will probably recommend lifestyle changes (such as avoiding any triggers) and topical treatments like strong deodorants first.
How does Lyrinel XL work for hyperhidrosis?
The active ingredient in Lyrinel XL is oxybutynin. It’s also a delayed-release tablet, which means that small amounts of the drug are released throughout the day. So you don’t have to take it as often as the standard generic version, Oxybutynin.
Lyrinel XL is a type of drug called an anticholinergic. It works by stopping the acetylcholinesterase (ACh) enzyme from activating This has been shown to lower the amount you sweat.
What doses of Lyrinel XL are there?
Lyrinel XL comes in 5mg and 10mg dose tablets. The usual dose to start on is one 5mg tablet a day. If this doesn’t fully control your symptoms, talk to your clinician. They can help you figure out the right dose.
The maximum dose of Lyrinel XL is usually 10mg, but you shouldn’t need a dose this high for hyperhidrosis. Don’t raise your dose yourself, always talk to a clinician first. Increasing your dose slowly and with medical advice will help you avoid side effects, like dry mouth.

How to take Lyrinel XL
Your clinician will tell you how exactly to take Lyrinel XL for hyperhidrosis. If you have any questions, read the leaflet that comes with your medication and ask if you’re still not sure.
Take your dose of Lyrinel XL once a day;
Make sure you take your medication around the same time everyday;
Don’t crush or chew the tablet, or break it in half. This will damage the coating that helps it release slowly. Just swallow it whole with a glass of water;
It’s up to you whether to take Lyrinel XL with food or not. If taking it with a meal helps you remember, it’s fine to do that.
How long does it take Lyrinel XL to work?
The active ingredient in Lyrinel XL is quickly absorbed into the bloodstream, with its levels increasing for 4-6 hours in your body before being maintained over the next 24 hours. Its effects on sweat are rapid. So it starts reducing your sweat levels pretty quickly, but it also lasts.
What should I do if I make a mistake while taking Lyrinel XL?
Taking too much Lyrinel XL can cause side effects. If you take more than your normal dose, get medical attention. It’s helpful to bring the packaging of your medication with you when you seek help, so they can see how much you’ve taken.
You can try setting an alarm or using a reminder app to help you remember when it’s time to take your medication. If you miss a dose, skip that dose and take your next dose at the normal time. Don’t take more than you normally do to make up for missing some.

FAQ: Lyrinel XL
Have something specific you want to know? Search our info below, or ask our experts a question if you can’t find what you’re looking for.
How is Lyrinel XL different from other treatments for hyperhidrosis?
Answer:
The first treatments suggested for hyperhidrosis are often things like lifestyle changes and topical pharmacy medicines. For many people with hyperhidrosis, avoiding triggers and using stronger antiperspirants or foot powder isn’t enough to control symptoms.
There are also a few different kinds of procedure for hyperhidrosis. Some people get botox injections in the areas that are especially prone to sweating. There’s also iontophoresis, a treatment that uses an electric current through water into your hands or feet to temporarily lessen your sweating response. In severe cases, surgery can be performed to remove the sweat glands.
Lyrinel XL tablets are a good middle ground between these types of treatment. If more simple management techniques haven’t eased your hyperhidrosis but you don’t want to try something invasive like surgery, Lyrinel XL can help.
Is Lyrinel XL similar to any other treatments?
Answer:
Oxybutynin is the standard-release, generic form of Lyrinel XL. They both have the same active ingredient, so they work in really similar ways.
But Lyrinel XL is released slowly over 24 hours, so you only need to take your dose once a day. This can be a lot more convenient than taking tablets two or three times a day.
Apart from how quickly it’s released, there are only a few other differences between Lyrinel XL and Oxybutynin. Lyrinel XL has a different name and it’s often a bit more expensive.
Do I need a prescription for Lyrinel XL?
Answer:
You can only get Lyrinel XL with a prescription. Because it’s an off-label treatment for hyperhidrosis, a clinician will need to make sure it’s the best option for you.
It’s a good idea to try strong antiperspirants first and cut out any things that may trigger your symptoms, like alcohol and tight-fitting clothes.
