Approximately 1–3% of the population suffers from hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating, which is a major contributing factor to stubborn body odor. For those with persistent malodor that doesn't improve with over-the-counter products and hygiene, doctors can prescribe stronger medications and procedures to treat the underlying cause.

An estimated 4-20% of people on antidepressants experience increased sweating, a common pathway for medications to cause body odor. Certain drugs can significantly alter the body's scent by affecting metabolism, increasing perspiration, or excreting strong-smelling compounds.
