FDA Approves Botanix Pharmas New Underarm Sweat Drug

Jul 12, 2024

Botanix Pharmaceuticals (ASX: BOT) announced FDA approval for its drug Sofdra, a sofpironium gel, marking its transition from development to a revenue-generating company. Sofdra, approved at a 12.45% concentration, is the only FDA-approved product for treating excessive underarm sweating in the US, a condition affecting about 10 million people.

The drug reduces sweating by targeting eccrine glands. Botanix anticipates revenue from US sales starting in Q4 of 2024. The President of the American Academy of Dermatology, David Pariser, hailed the approval as significant for the hyperhidrosis community due to the drug’s effectiveness and ease of use. Botanix’s stock was last traded at 34 cents per share.
