About BOTOX® (Botulinum Toxin Type A)

One highly effective, FDA-approved treatment for severe underarm sweating not adequately managed by topical agents is BOTOX® (Botulinum Toxin Type A). BOTOX® injections help control severe underarm sweating by temporarily blocking the chemical signals from the nerves that stimulate the sweat glands. When the sweat glands don't receive chemical signals, the severe sweating stops. In a clinical study, the median duration of response in BOTOX® patients was 201 days or 6.7 months.
