Axillary Hyperhidrosis - Pipeline Review, H2 2017

Axillary Hyperhidrosis - Pipeline Review, H2 2017, provides an overview of the Axillary Hyperhidrosis (Dermatology) pipeline landscape. Axillary hyperhidrosis also referred to as excessive underarm sweating. Excessive sweating in the affected area is caused by over activity of the nerves linked to the sweat glands. Specifically, acetylcholine, a chemical in the body that transmits nerve signals, is released from nerve endings and stimulates secretion of sweat. The condition most frequently develops in adolescence or young adulthood. Treatment includes anticholinergic drugs, surgery and antiperspirants.
