Botox® is the commercial name given to a toxin which is produced from botulism toxin. It blocks the chemical transmitter that causes sweating. It is used mainly on isolated cases of armpit sweating. The injection of the Botox® in the armpit areas can help the patient for about 3 to 6 months at a time. Some people try to use it to treat palmar hyperhidrosis but it is less effective and very painful. So far at present Botox® is not FDA approved for the treatment of palmar hyperhidrosis or excessive hand sweating. Some of the insurance companies require Botox injections as a pre-requisite for their approval of ETS. Patients can contest this requirement however results vary depending on their carrier on a case by case basis.
