The Fischer vs. Qbrexza ®

Comparing Hyperhidrosis Solutions
Hyperhidrosis sufferers often face a tough decision when choosing a treatment. Qbrexza® wipes, a relatively new FDA-cleared solution, offer convenience but come with limitations and risks. Let’s examine how The Fischer iontophoresis device offers a safer, more comprehensive alternative to Qbrexza wipes.

The Fischer vs. Qbrexza®: A Side-by-Side Comparison

Qbrexza®

Side Effects of Qbrexza Wipes: Risks Worth Considering

Mydriasis and Other Concerns

Qbrexza wipes are marketed as an easy way to manage underarm sweating, but their side effects deserve careful consideration:
  • Mydriasis: Abnormal pupil dilation, often associated with an "under the influence" appearance, can occur with even slight eye contact with the solution.
  • Other risks: Include blurred vision, trouble urinating, and a weak pulse.
  • Environmental impact: As a disposable product, Qbrexza also contributes to waste and sewer system strain.

The Fischer: A Safe, All-Natural Alternative

The Fischer offers a natural solution, free from harmful chemicals or severe side effects. Patients can feel confident knowing that the treatment uses only tap water and a mild electrical current, making it both effective and safe.

Scope of Treatment: Addressing More Than Underarms

Qbrexza’s Limited Focus

Qbrexza wipes are designed solely for primary axillary hyperhidrosis, meaning they only address excessive sweating in the underarms. While this may suit some patients, it leaves those with sweaty hands or feet without a solution.

The Fischer’s Comprehensive Coverage

The Fischer stands out by treating:
  • Palmar hyperhidrosis: Excessive hand sweating.
  • Plantar hyperhidrosis: Excessive foot sweating.
  • Axillary hyperhidrosis: Underarm sweating.
With its ability to treat multiple areas simultaneously, The Fischer ensures comprehensive relief for patients with widespread hyperhidrosis.

Cost Comparison: Qbrexza vs. The Fischer

The Long-Term Expense of Qbrexza

Patients using Qbrexza face recurring costs, such as:
  • Co-pays: Adding up monthly.
  • Out-of-pocket expenses: Approximately $550 for a 30-day supply.
Over time, these expenses become significant, making Qbrexza a costly treatment option.

The Fischer: Affordable and Sustainable

The Fischer offers a more economical solution:
  • One-time cost: Often fully covered by insurance.
  • No ongoing purchases: Unlike Qbrexza, The Fischer eliminates the need for repeated expenses.

Built to Last: The Fischer’s Lifetime Value

Disposable Qbrexza wipes not only create environmental waste but also require recurring purchases, adding to both financial and ecological costs. In contrast, The Fischer is a one-time investment designed to last a lifetime.

This durable iontophoresis device eliminates the need for disposable products, relying solely on natural minerals in tap water to treat hyperhidrosis effectively. With no ongoing waste or replacement costs, The Fischer provides an eco-friendly, cost-effective solution that you can depend on for years to come.

By choosing The Fischer, you’re not just investing in dryness—you’re embracing a sustainable, long-term approach to managing hyperhidrosis.
