Evaluate the long term efficacy and side effects of oxybutynin in the treatment of hyperhidrosis.
This retrospective study aims to evaluate the medical charts of patients who were treated with oxybutynin for at least six months for primary hyperhidrosis. The investigators variables of interest are: (1) quality of life before pharmacological therapy and after six weeks, (2)self-perception of improvement in hyperhidrosis after six weeks of treatment and on last visit (whenever this occur, as long as this happens after six months), (3) side effects related to drug use.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Axillary hyperhidrosis | Patients whose major complaint is excessive sweating in the axillary region (i.e, sweating in the armpit). Patients that also have hyperhidrosis - but that are less bothersome on other sites (e.g., palmar hyperhidrosis) are not excluded, but are accounted for accordingly to their main complaint. |
| |
| Palmar hyperhidrosis | Patients whose major complaint is excessive sweating in the palmar region (i.e, sweating in the hands). Patients that also have hyperhidrosis - but that are less bothersome on other sites (e.g., axillary hyperhidrosis) are not excluded, but are accounted for accordingly to their main complaint. |
| |
| Plantar hyperhidrosis | Patients whose major complaint is excessive sweating in the plantar region (i.e, sweating in the feet). Patients that also have hyperhidrosis - but that are less bothersome on other sites (e.g., axillary hyperhidrosis) are not excluded, but are accounted for accordingly to their main complaint. |
| |
| Cranio-facial hyperhidrosis | Patients whose major complaint is excessive sweating in the cranio-facial region (i.e, sweating in the face). Patients that also have hyperhidrosis - but that are less bothersome on other sites (e.g., axillary hyperhidrosis) are not excluded, but are accounted for accordingly to their main complaint. |

| Oxybutynin | Drug | All patients are treated with oxybutynin for hyperhidrosis. Usual maintenance dose is 10mg/day, but dose may vary according to weight, efficacy and side effects. Our standard protocol starts with 2.5mg/day in the first 7 days, progresses to 5mg/day for 14 days and then reaches the usual maintenance dose of 10mg/day afterwards. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Quality of life | Evaluate the Quality of life (using a standardized questionnaire for hyperhidrotic patients) before pharmacological treatment | 1 day before treatment |
| Quality of life | Evaluate the Quality of life (using a standardized questionnaire for hyperhidrotic patients) after 42 days of treatment | Forty-two days after treatment |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Perception of improvement in excessive sweating | We want to analyze the patient's self perception (grades 0 to 10) of amelioration in sweating after forty-two days of treatment | After 42 days of treatment |
| Perception of improvement in excessive sweating |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Side effects in the use of oxybutynin for hyperhidrosis | Assess the side effects that have been reported on patient's charts, such as: dry mouth, constipation, headache, glaucoma, bowel obstruction and any other side effect reported | After 42 days of treatment |
