<p><strong>Oral medications</strong></p> <p>There are some oral medications that can be prescribed to reduce sweating.</p> <p>Most belong to a group of drugs called anticholinergics and work by blocking a chemical called acetylcholine which the nervous system uses to activate our sweat glands.</p> <p>The drawback to these oral medications is that they work on the body as a whole so have a number of side effects, including dry mouth, constipation and can cause problems urinating, so most patients only use them for short-term relief.</p>
