Anhydrol Forte

You should apply the medication at night before you go to bed and then wash it off in the morning. Do not reapply the medication during the day. It is recommended that you follow a two-nightly treatment cycle, whereby you apply the medication for two nights in a row and then have a break for two nights. However, you can adjust the frequency of application to suit your personal needs. You can apply the medication to your skin in the same way you would use a roll-on deodorant.

Affected areas must be dried thoroughly and carefully before applying the medication to prevent it from causing a burning sensation on the skin. You should also ensure you only apply the medicine to affected areas and do not use it on broken or irritated skin. Avoid shaving hair or using hair removal products on affected areas within 12 hours (before or after) of using the medication.

Let the medication dry before putting any clothes over the applied areas, as aluminium chloride hexahydrate can stain them. Contact with jewellery and metal surfaces should be avoided as it can also stain these. You can also use it with deodorant.

Aluminium chloride hexahydrate reduces sweating by blocking sweat ducts in the skin. It is also thought to kill bacteria on the skin that cause body odour. This happens when aluminium chloride hexahydrate reacts with water on the skin to produce hydrochloric acid.

Anhydrol Forte is not suitable for everyone. You should not use Anhydrol Forte if you have previously had an allergic reaction to aluminium chloride hexahydrate or another ingredient listed in the medication.

Anhydrol Forte is unlikely to interact with other medicines.

Some people are bound to experience unwanted side effects, as with all medications. These can include burning sensations, stinging, irritation, itching, swelling, rashes, pain, and redness at the application site. Speak to your doctor if any of these side effects become bothersome. Reducing the frequency of application can help to reduce these side effects.
