Abstract:
Hyperhidrosis (HH), a condition characterized by excessive sweating beyond thermoregulation, significantly impairs quality of life. Conventional medications to treat HH include aluminum chloride hexahydrate, systemic anticholinergics, and botulinum toxin injections. New treatments have emerged including glycopyrronium bromide, sofpironium bromide, targeted alkali thermolysis, and microwave devices. This paper reviews the mechanism of action, efficacy, safety, and practical considerations associated with these treatments.
