  https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/17113-hyperhidrosis

  Not all cases of hyperhidrosis are preventable. For example, you cant prevent focal hyperhidrosis since it may have a genetic cause. If you have generalized hyperhidrosis, managing or treating any underlying health conditions can help. You can also work with your healthcare provider to manage the side effects of medications youre prescribed to reduce the likelihood of hyperhidrosis. […] While hyperhidrosis has no cure, there are a variety of treatment options available to help you manage your symptoms. The condition isnt life-threatening, but it can have a major impact on your life. You may feel embarrassed or sensitive talking about your condition and it might keep you from participating in activities that you regularly enjoy. If hyperhidrosis affects your mental health, talk to a healthcare provider or a mental health professional. They can help you feel better about your body and the effect of overactive sweat glands.

  Hyperhidrosis is classified as primary and secondary, and the management and treatment can significantly differ. The primary disease typically presents earlier in life with more localized symptoms. The secondary disease typically presents due to adverse effects of medications or systemic disorders, particularly neurologic. […] Several treatment options for hyperhidrosis include topical aluminum chloride and oral anticholinergic medications, which are sufficient in patients with mild to moderate disease. Botulinum toxin A injections, sympathectomy, and local excision are also effective but reserved for patients resistant to conservative therapy. […] As more treatment options have become available, treating hyperhidrosis has become easier for clinicians. A stepwise approach is often effective, and many topical and systemic agents are available.

  Drug-induced hyperhidrosis is the most common cause of secondary hyperhidrosis. […] It results from the release of acetylcholine by medications that block the action of acetylcholinesterase, an enzyme that breaks down the neurotransmitter. […] A temporal relationship between initiation of a certain medication and onset of symptoms with no other apparent cause of secondary hyperhidrosis is suggestive of drug-induced hyperhidrosis. […] When suspicious of drug-induced hyperhidrosis, the possible culprit medication should be stopped completely as a trial.

  There are a number of oral (taken by mouth) prescription medications that may be used to help manage certain types of excessive sweating, either alone or (more often) in combination with other treatments like antiperspirants, injectables, miraDry, and/or iontophoresis. […] The key, experts say, is that these medications should not be used alone, but combined with other therapies to optimize their benefits and minimize side effects. […] Many hyperhidrosis patients experience success with anticholinergic therapy, especially when it’s used in combination with other sweat management techniques. […] Of course, it is common for medications to be used off-label and a substantial safe history of off-label use of these meds has helped most practitioners to feel confident about them.

  The Hyperhidrosis Disease Severity Scale should be used to gauge severity of primary hyperhidrosis and predict response to treatment. Topical 20% aluminum chloride (Drysol) should be used as first-line treatment in most cases of primary hyperhidrosis, regardless of severity and location. Iontophoresis may be effective as first- or second-line treatment for primary hyperhidrosis of the palms or soles. Intradermal onabotulinumtoxinA (Botox) injections may be considered first- or second-line treatments for many cases of primary hyperhidrosis involving the axillae, palms, soles, or face. Oral anticholinergics are recommended if treatment with topical aluminum chloride, onabotulinumtoxinA injection, and iontophoresis is ineffective. Local surgery and endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy should be considered only after topical and medical treatments have failed.

  Hyperhidrosis is characterized by abnormal, excessive sweating that can occur in the hands, armpits and feet. […] UCSF offers effective, long-lasting treatments for hyperhidrosis. These include Botox injections and a minimally invasive surgery called endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy (ETS), which blocks the excessive nerve activity leading to severe sweating. […] Many patients with hyperhidrosis try topical medications or herbal remedies to ease their condition, but these have only temporary or no benefit. Fortunately, effective treatments are available.

  Hyperhidrosis is a disorder in which the sweat glands become overactive. The result is excessive perspiration that is not associated with exercise, temperature or any other typical triggers. […] When it comes to managing the disorder, the antiperspirant your internist recommended is a common first-line approach. So are medications known as anticholinergics, which interfere with the electrical signals the body uses to activate the sweat glands. […] Nerve impulses associated with sweating can also be muted with the use of Botox. […] Botox injections have come to be widely used in managing primary hyperhidrosis when topical treatments have failed. The treatment works by blocking the nerve signals that instruct the sweat glands to become active. […] According to the International Hyperhidrosis Society, people who receive Botox injections have found excessive sweating decreases by more than 85%. […] With the failure of the antiperspirant to bring you relief, your internist can advise you on whether oral medications, Botox injections or surgery may be an appropriate next step.
