Nerve-blocking drugs
Your doctor may recommend nerve-blocking (anticholinergic) drugs to reduce sweating. These drugs target and block [4] the action of certain chemicals that transmit information between nerves. These drugs are taken orally and they may be enough to stop sweating in some people.
Doctors often recommend this drug only after trying other milder treatments. Anticholinergic drugs can cause side effects like dry eyes and mouth, difficulty urinating, blurred vision, and heart palpitations.
Antidepressants
Excessive sweating can be helped with antidepressants [5]. Many antidepressants also reduce sweating as a side effect. For people whose sweating intensifies is triggered by anxiety or nervousness, this treatment can also help control these causes.
