Depends on Where: For armpit (axillary) hyperhidrosis, the most common treatments start with topical antiperspirants that contain aluminum oxide. Initial treatment can also include medicines like Glycopyrrolate which can dry up secretions like sweat and saliva, but they have side effects that limit how useful they are. Some patients get Botox injections or sweat glands removed surgically if sweating is too intense.
