Botox
injections are an effective remedy for palmar hyperhidrosis (sweating
of the palms of the hands) and relief can last many months. However,
the pain involved in the administration of Botox to the hands along
with occasional problems related to muscle weakness can make Botox a
less desirable form of therapy for treating palmar hyperhidrosis.
Although Botox is approved by the Federal Drug Administration in the
United States for many medical uses, it is not yet approved for the
treatment of excess perspiration. Physicians may use it to treat
hyperhidrosis, but it is considered an “off-label”
indication.
