Excessive Sweating And New Drug For It Run a mile in the heat of the summer and you may get a sense of what some people with excessive sweating deal with every day. For years, dermatologists have been telling us of the need for new treatment options that address primary axillary hyperhidrosis, given the stigma and burden associated with this condition, said Tom Wiggans, chairman and chief executive officer at Dermira, in a press release. What is it? Qbrexza is a topical treatment towelette meant for a single daily use and is approved in patients nine years of age and older. And yes, excessive sweating is a real medical condition. Are there other treatment options? There are currently several treatment options available on the market, of which Qbrexza is the latest development. With the FDA approval of Qbrexza, hyperhidrosis sufferers finally have a new medication option to help manage their excessive, uncontrollable sweating, said Lisa J. Pieretti, executive director and co-founder of the International Hyperhidrosis Society.
