QBREXZA (glycopyrronium tosylate)
Qbrexza is a topical medication that treats excessive underarm sweating, a condition known as primary axillary hyperhidrosis. It is used for adults and children 9 years of age and older who experience this type of localized sweating. This anticholinergic therapy helps patients manage their symptoms through direct application to the skin.
How QBREXZA Works
This medication works by blocking acetylcholine receptors located on peripheral tissues, specifically the sweat glands. By preventing acetylcholine from binding to these receptors, the drug inhibits the signals that trigger perspiration, which effectively reduces sweating.
