Medicinal treatment of excessive sweating
|
Tablets taken through the mouth, or systemic drugs are sometimes prescribed by doctors to treat excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis). To this end, use anticholinergic drugs, beta-blockers, clonidine. (Propantheline, glycopyrronium, benztropin, diazepam, diltiazem, indomethacin, oxybutynin, glycopyrrolate, robinul). Theoretically, these drugs can help in the treatment of excessive sweating, because they prevent the stimulation of all sweat glands and can reduce sweating in general, however, prolonged use is not recommended due to severe side effects. In fact, many physicians are not convinced that systemic anticholinergic drugs and other tablets can be used to treat primary local hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating not associated with any other medical condition and localized in the hands, legs, face and underarms). |
Effective use of anticholinergic drugs
As noted above, experts do not consider it possible to prolong use of anticholinergic drugs or other tablets with local hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating of the palms, feet, face and underarms), mainly because of severe and serious side effects such as:
- Dry mouth
- Disruption of accommodation (focus of vision)
- Violation of speech, taste, difficulty in chewing and swallowing
- Delayed urination
- Constipation
- Heart rhythm disturbances
There is one very interesting application of anticholinergic drugs. Some doctors and patients are making great strides in the treatment of excessive sweating of the palms and feet with the addition of crushed tablets of anticholinergic drugs into the water during iontophoresis.
