Sofpironium
Sofpironium is a novel anticholinergic agent in the form of a soft drug specifically designed for topical application to reduce sweating in primary axillary hyperhidrosis. By blocking muscarinic acetylcholine receptors on eccrine sweat glands, it inhibits sweat secretion locally, with its retro-metabolic design ensuring rapid systemic inactivation to minimize systemic anticholinergic side effects. It is applied topically as a gel formulation.
