Hyperhidrosis Medications vs Dermadry

Which is the best solution to treat excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis)?

Medication can be prescribed by a doctor to reduce sweating. These are not designed specifically for excessive sweating, but can work by blocking the chemicals in nerve endings that regulate sweat glands. However, blocking these chemicals results in full-body dryness, as these medications are systemic and do not target specific areas of the body.
This means that they decrease sweating and moisture all over the body, even where sweating is not a problem. This can lead to side effects such as dry mouth, constipation, impaired taste, blurred vision, urinary retention, and heart palpitations. The side effects generated by these medications are often worse than the sweating itself.
NOTE: Long term use is not recommended. These types of medications are not prescribed to those aged 65+, due to the risks they pose. Always talk to your doctor before starting any medications to see if this treatment is right for you, and report any side effects to your doctor.
