HYPERHIDROSIS KNOWLEDGE AND SCIENCE
DECEMBER 2006: Oral Drugs for Hyperhidrosis
Medical Publication:
Paroxetine useful for palmar-plantar hyperhidrosis
Annals of Pharmacotherapy 40(10): 1884-6, 2006
Synopsis: An oral drug, paroxetine, proved useful for a man with hyperhidrosis on the palms and soles.
Once again, this is a single case report of a drug that works for hyperhidrosis. However, as opposed to the case of the woman from the Netherlands, who suffered from sweating on the upper part of her body, this 32-year old man suffered from excessive sweating on his palms and soles (palmar hyperhydrosis and plantar hyperhydrosis). The man had hyperhidrosis of the palms and soles since childhood. He experienced a marked reduction in sweating and improvement in socio-occupational functioning. More specifically, his sweat reduction or the waning of his hyperhidrosis greatly improved his social and work life.
Conclusion: Interestingly, the authors of this study felt that paroxetine's benefit on hyperhidrosis of the palms and soles was due to its anti-anxiety effect. Thus, they postulated that reducing anxiety reduces palmar excessive sweating and plantar hyperhidrosis. Should everyone who sweats on their palms and soles take a drug? It is still too soon to even ask that question for hyperhydrosis sufferers.
