Do not shower or wash underarms for at least 8 hours after application. Do not touch underarms after applying SOFDRA. Do not use more than once daily. Avoid transfer of SOFDRA to the periocular area [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] . Do not apply SOFDRA to broken skin. Avoid using SOFDRA with occlusive dressings. Apply 1 pump of SOFDRA per underarm once a day at bedtime. For topical use only ( 2 ).

Warnings

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Urinary Retention: Use with caution in patients with a history or presence of documented urinary retention. Discontinue use immediately and consult a healthcare provider should any signs or symptoms of urinary retention develop ( 5.1 ). Control of Body Temperature: Watch for generalized lack of sweating when in hot or very warm environmental temperatures and avoid using SOFDRA if not sweating under these conditions ( 5.2 ). Operating Machinery or an Automobile: Transient blurred vision may occur with use of SOFDRA. If blurred vision occurs, discontinue use and avoid operating a motor vehicle or other machinery until symptoms resolve ( 5.3 ). 5.1 Urinary Retention Use SOFDRA with caution in patients with a history or presence of documented urinary retention. Prescribers and patients should be alert for signs and symptoms of urinary retention (e.g., difficulty passing urine, distended bladder), especially in patients with prostatic hypertrophy or bladder-neck obstruction. Discontinue use immediately and consult a healthcare provider should any of these signs or symptoms develop. 5.2 Control of Body Temperature In the presence of high ambient temperature, heat illness (hyperpyrexia and heat stroke due to decreased sweating) can occur with the use of anticholinergic drugs, including SOFDRA. Watch for generalized lack of sweating when in hot or very warm environmental temperatures and avoid using SOFDRA if not sweating under these conditions. 5.3 Operating Machinery or an Automobile Transient blurred vision may occur with use of SOFDRA. If blurred vision occurs, discontinue use and avoid engaging in activities that require clear vision, such as operating a motor vehicle or other machinery or performing hazardous work, until the symptoms have resolved.

Drug interactions

DRUG INTERACTIONS Anticholinergics: Coadministration of SOFDRA with anticholinergic medications may result in additive interaction leading to an increase in anticholinergic adverse effects. Avoid coadministration of SOFDRA with other anticholinergic-containing drugs ( 7.1 ). Strong Inhibitors of CYP2D6: Avoid co-administration of SOFDRA with drugs that are strong inhibitors of CYP2D6 ( 7.2 ). 7.1 Anticholinergics Coadministration of SOFDRA with anticholinergic medications may result in additive interaction leading to an increase in anticholinergic adverse effects [See Warnings and Precautions (5.2) and Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . Avoid coadministration of SOFDRA with other anticholinergic-containing drugs. 7.2 Strong Inhibitors of CYP2D6 Avoid co-administration of SOFDRA with drugs that are strong inhibitors of CYP2D6.

Side effects

ADVERSE REACTIONS The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling: Urinary Retention [See Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ]. Most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥2%) are dry mouth, vision blurred, application site pain, application site erythema, mydriasis, application site dermatitis, application site pruritus, urinary retention, and application site irritation ( 6.1 ). To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Botanix SB Inc. at 1-866-763-6337 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch . 6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. In two double-blind, vehicle controlled clinical trials (CARDIGAN 1 and CARDIGAN 2) of 700 subjects 10 to 76 years of age (353 subjects treated with SOFDRA and 347 subjects treated with vehicle), 44% of subjects were male, 79% were White, 21% were Black, and 1% were Asian. A total of 618 subjects completed at least 6 weeks of treatment, including 307 subjects treated with SOFDRA and 311 subjects treated with vehicle. Table 1 summarizes the most frequent adverse reactions (≥2%) in subjects with primary axillary hyperhidrosis treated with SOFDRA.

Adverse reactions occurring at a frequency ≥2% were vision blurred (19%), dry mouth (17%), application site pruritus (15%), application site pain (15%), application site dermatitis (11%), application site erythema (8%), application site irritation (6%), mydriasis (5%), application site rash (4%), upper respiratory tract infection (4%), dry eye (4%), urinary retention (4%), application site exfoliation (3%), application site folliculitis (3%), hypertension (3%), application site dryness (2%), viral upper respiratory tract infection (2%), influenza (2%), and headache (2%).
