You can try: Drysol prescription but if that does not work you are probably stuck with Botox which is very effective. One treatment lasts about 6 months and more and more insurances are covering it. Good luck!'.

Botox: Hello! we use a couple things for hyperhydrosis. One, we use a powder spray called "stay-dry" that can help, but after a while this will get wiped off and you will return to the same issues. We also use Botox quite often for this and this can be used in your hands. However, if you decide to do this, make sure you got to someone with a lot of experience to avoid hand weakness. Hope this helps!
