FDA approves Dermira's wipe for excessive armpit sweating

Dermira Inc said on Friday its topical cloth for excessive armpit sweating was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, providing patients with an easy-to-use option for an often embarrassing condition.

[...] The treatment, Qbrexza, works by blocking receptors responsible for sweat gland activation and can be used once a day, the company said in a statement.

[...] Currently, Allergan's Botox injection is used to treat the condition. Other treatments include antiperspirants and costlier alternatives such as laser therapy, as well as localized surgery like liposuction to remove sweat glands.

    I like Marco, but Marco has a tendency to sweat. Perhaps at a record-setting level. They said to Marco Rubio, "are you having fun?" He’s sweating like a pig. I never saw a guy sweat like this. The sweat is pouring down. So I had my campaign send him towels. Water. And a note that said, "Since you’re always sweating, we thought you could use some water. Enjoy!" And now we can send him some Qbrexza. So he won't be embarrassed because he's all sweaty. Or because he tried to say "Qbrexza." They seriously messed up the name of that one. This isn't Wheel of Fortune, folks, the vowels are free!!!
