Edmond A. Zingaro, M.D. answers: Does Botox for hyperhidrosis work?

I've heard that you can get Botox for hyperhidrosis (i.e. Botox for excessive sweating). Is this experimental or is it FDA-approved? Does it work?

Yes, Botox does indeed work very well for hyperhydrosis.  It is necessary to use a larger quantity than for other purposes so cost is greater but it does tend to last longer.  Regardless, it works.
