Head and Face   Other Treatment Options

There are several treatments now available for Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), one or more of which will help relieve this condition. An effective antiperspirant, however, is still the treatment of first choice; the aluminium chloride preparations are in fact the only such formulations able to effectively control Hyperhidrosis. It is important to avoid products with roll-on and felt tip dispensers as they enable perspiration to contaminate the product producing irritants. These roll on and felt tip products also contain no emollients or skin hydrating agents to combat the dehydrating effects of their formulations. ODABAN® Antiperspirant pump spray, however, does address these important requirements. The unique, hermetically sealed dispensing mechanism ensures an accurate and uncontaminated dose and the special silicone formulation ensures a positive hydrating result with markedly reduced irritancy.

Some individuals may feel their problem is still not completely under control, in these cases it may be worthwhile considering using an additional treatment with their antiperspirant; iontophoresis, low doses of oral treatments, impregnated wipes, creams, or if desperate even surgery could be considered. Your doctor can advise on effective medicines to help control your condition, glycopyrrolate or ditropan have proven useful in low doses but the side effects may disturb some people. Many doctors, however, do not take Hyperhidrosis seriously enough and may even be unaware of suitable treatments. In such cases, it is imperative you persevere, join in with one or two Hyperhidrosis discussion forums on the Net and collate all the information prior to meeting up with your doctor. If you have a serious case of Hyperhidrosis it is essential you work closely with your doctor to find the best treatment regime.
