Sofpironium Bromide Gel Reliable in Treating Excessive Underarm Sweating, finds research
Primary axillary hyperhidrosis is a condition characterized by excessive underarm sweating and has long presented challenges in terms of effective and non-invasive treatments. However, recent study published in the recent issue of The Journal of Dermatological Treatment suggest that sofpironium bromide gel may provide a breakthrough option for patients seeking relief.
This comprehensive review included 5 clinical studies involving a total of 752 patients with primary axillary hyperhidrosis. Sofpironium bromide gel was administered at varying concentrations, predominantly at 5%, with one study exploring 5%, 10%, and 15% formulations. The results demonstrated significant benefits in both symptom control and quality of life improvements.
The patients using the gel experienced a marked reduction in sweating. Between 53.9% and 86.7% of participants reported an improvement in their Hyperhidrosis Disease Severity Scale (HDSS) scores, achieving a score of 1 or 2, indicating mild or no noticeable sweating. Furthermore, the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) showed substantial improvements for the patients treated with sofpironium bromide when compared to control groups.
