What Is Excessive Underarm Sweating?

Excessive underarm sweating is a medical condition known as primary axillary hyperhidrosis, which involves overactive sweat glands. Sweat is your body's temperature regulator. In primary axillary hyperhidrosis, sweating significantly exceeds the body's normal requirements for cooling.

For more information about excessive underarm sweating, visit the International Hyperhidrosis Society Web site at www.SweatHelp.org.

BOTOX^® (botulinum toxin type A) is FDA approved for excessive underarm sweating when topical agents don't work.

Important Safety Information

You should not be injected if you have an infection at the injection site or are hypersensitive to any of the ingredients. Serious allergic reactions and cardiac events have been rarely reported. If you think you are having an allergic reaction or other unusual symptoms, such as difficulty swallowing, speaking, or breathing, call your doctor immediately.

Side effects include injection-site pain and bleeding, non-underarm sweating, infection, sore throat, flu, headache, fever, neck or back pain, itching and anxiety. Patients with certain neuromuscular disorders such as ALS, myasthenia gravis, or Lambert-Eaton syndrome may be at increased risk of serious side effects.
