Oxybutynin for Patients with Hyperhidrosis
Netherlands Journal of Medicine 64(9): 326-8, 2006




Synopsis: An oral drug, oxybutynin, helped one woman with her hyperhidrosis.


This is a single case report on the treatment of hyperhidrosis in a woman in the Netherlands. She had a history of excessive sweating of the face (facial hyperhydrosis) and upper body. When her general practitioner prescribed her oxybutynin for urinary incontinence, it had the added side effect of curing her sweating problem, hyperhydrosis. Apparently, the anticholinergic effect of oxybutynin, which was designed to help the urinary problem, also aided the excessive sweating or hyperhidrosis.



Conclusion: It is always good to keep in mind that this is only a single case report of a drug that helps hyperhidrosis. For a drug to be deemed safe and effective in the treatment of hyperhydrosis, or excessive sweating, it must undergo a multitude of patient tests to prove itself worthy. However, this is an encouraging report of a drug that might one day prove useful to stop excessive sweating.

Kort maar krachtig zullen we maar zeggen. En nu maar hopen dat de medische wereld het oppakt voor verder onderzoek en een nog krachtiger medicijn creeert dat puur het zweten aanpakt zonder bijwerkingen.
