- Abstract
Hyperhidrosis is defined as the production of sweat beyond what is physiologically necessary to maintain thermal homeostasis. This disease state may (and typically does) have a significant impact on the patient's quality of life. Medications including antiperspirants, anticholinergics, and botulinum toxin have been shown to be effective in the management of hyperhidrosis. Several medical device technologies have also proven to be effective. This review article will explore the current and emerging pharmacological and medical device treatments for hyperhidrosis and provide a framework for treating patients who suffer with primary forms of hyperhidrosis.
