Zusammenfassung:Non-pathological, physiologically normal sweating is inhibited through use o f an a muscarinic anticholinergic amine that blocks parasympathetic stimuli fr om cholinergic nerve fibers to an innerved sweat gland. The anticholinergic age nt is included in a form adapted to be topically applied to commonly sweaty are as of the body. Side effects are minimized by employing amines which are charge d at physiological pH, thereby minimizing their ability to cross biological membranes. The most prefered anticholinergic agents are salts of quaternary amines (quaternary ammonium salts) which are always charged.
