Abstract
More than 70% of patients presented with improved overall quality of life and improvement at the most prominent site of compensatory sweating. Long-term treatment was ineffective in less than 25% of patients, primarily because of the side effects of dry mouth and somnolence. Oxybutynin appears to be effective in treating bothersome CH.
