It’s been just over a month since our Patient-Focused Drug Development (PFDD) meeting on hyperhidrosis (Hh), but the process is not over.

Have your say and comment via a “PFDD Comment” email.

If you’ve ever wanted a better way to control your sweating – and to stop sweating from controlling your life – it’s time to speak up - OPEN COMMENT PERIOD NEEDS YOUR INPUT NOW.
