Qbrexza is FDA-approved for the treatment of primary axillary hyperhidrosis (excessive underarm sweating) in adults and children age 9 years and older. It is used when regular-strength prescription antiperspirants have failed to adequately control symptoms.
Qbrexza contains glycopyrronium tosylate, an anticholinergic medication. It works by blocking acetylcholine receptors in the sweat glands, thereby reducing the nerve signals that stimulate sweat production. The medication is applied topically to the affected underarm area, allowing for targeted treatment with minimal systemic absorption.
Qbrexza is for topical use only on intact skin under the arms. Common side effects include dry mouth, blurred vision, mydriasis (pupil dilation), and skin irritation at the application site. Patients should wash hands after application and avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, and nose. It should not be used in patients with certain medical conditions; a healthcare provider should review full medical history before prescribing.
