Sweating

Why does hydrocodone stop my excessive sweating?

[Bhupinder Kaur, MD]

Hello,
For excessive sweating, oral treatment is usually with anticholinergics and hydrocodone is not used for it. Treatment usually involves antiperspirants like aluminium chloride (20-25%) in 70-90% alcohol, Iontophoresis, botox treatment and surgery if none of the above methods are helpful. There are no specific drugs available for this.

I sincerely hope that helps. Take care.
