Anhydrol Forte – 60ml

Anhydrol Forte – 60ml How does Anhydrol Forte work? Aluminium chloride is an effective antiperspirant that is applied to the skin to control severe excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis). It works by blocking the sweat glands. This causes the pressure of fluid within the sweat glands to rise to the point where it shuts off sweat production. The antiperspirant is applied before going to bed at night and should be washed off in the morning. It should not be re-applied during the day. Over time, sweating will stop during the day and the number of times you apply the antiperspirant at night can be reduced. (See the information leaflet provided with this medicine for further details.) This medicine should only be used on small areas of skin, ie the armpits, hands or feet, to ensure that no detrimental effects occur from widespread blocking of pores and obstruction of sweating.
