Article Abstract
Background: Topical anticholinergics have been reported to be effective in managing hyperhidrosis (HH) given the recent approval of glycopyrronium tosylate.
Objective: This review aimed to examine the effectiveness of emerging topical anticholinergic treatments for HH and their associated adverse effects in comparison to current treatment options.
Methods: We conducted a search within the PubMed and Embase databases for current and emerging topical anticholinergic treatments for primary HH.
Results: The topical anticholinergics that have been recently investigated for use in HH include glycopyrrolate, oxybutynin, sofpironium bromide, and umeclidinium. The only agent currently FDA approved is glycopyrrolate.
Conclusion: Knowledge of topical anticholinergic treatment options is important for patient care when managing HH. This review shows that while available safety data thus far are limited, emerging topical anticholinergics pose minimal known human risks.

Primary palmar hyperhidrosis (PH) is a chronic condition characterized by excessive sweating in the palms, significantly affecting the quality of life (QOL) of affected individuals. Despite the availability of various treatment modalities, the long-term efficacy and safety of these interventions remain unclear, warranting a comprehensive evaluation. This systematic review aims to assess the efficacy, safety and patient-reported outcomes of treatments for PH.

Deuterium is a safe bioisostere of hydrogen, and its selective labeling has a great prominence in medicinal chemistry for the amelioration of the pharmacokinetic profiles of the drugs. The deuterium-labeled pharmaceutically active compounds have been observed to exhibit broad applications, either as deuterated drugs or as pharmacokinetic probes (biomarkers). The deuterated drugs offer improved bioactivity and metabolic profile in terms of tolerability, efficacy, and reduced toxicity.

Background: Hyperhidrosis (HH) is a condition characterized by excessive sweating beyond the physiological needs of thermoregulation. HH can be classified as primary (idiopathic) hyperhidrosis (PHH) or secondary hyperhidrosis (SHH), which is associated with underlying medical conditions, medications or systemic disorders. This narrative review provides an updated overview of PHH, with a focus on epidemiology, aetiopathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnostic approaches and current management strategies, particularly highlighting pharmacological and procedural treatment options.
