SOFDRA (sofpironium bromide)
Sofdra is used to manage excessive underarm sweating, a condition known as primary axillary hyperhidrosis. It helps both adults and children as young as nine years old who experience persistent perspiration in the armpit area. This medication is prescribed to help patients reduce the volume of sweat produced by targeting the glands directly.
How SOFDRA Works
This medication works by blocking acetylcholine receptors located on peripheral tissues, specifically the sweat glands. By preventing these receptors from being stimulated, the drug effectively reduces the rate of sweating in the treated area.
