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 get 1 gallon of distilled water [ 1 ppm TDS ]
    Have a set of 0.9999% pure silver wires for a 24 volt, constant current, reversing polarity to hold
    the $30 [appx varies with market] that makes 100 gallons average.
    That is $0.30 silver.
    Total cost: $1.30 per gallon.

    Kills all armpit bacteria responsible for belching offensive gas.

    And, pray, do tell what else is the rest of 99.0001% ?

    Letting aside the butchery, Occam's razor does not prove anything, it's an heuristic. Sometimes it's even wrong.
