What is Anhydrol Forte and What is it Used For?
Anhydrol Forte is a treatment for excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis, of the armpits, hands, or feet. It is suitable for use by adults, children, and the elderly. The active ingredient in this product is aluminium chloride hexahydrate. It helps the product to reduce sweating by blocking sweat ducts in the skin and provide a deodorant action by killing the bacteria that cause body odour.
Before You Use Anhydrol Forte
Do not use Anhydrol Forte if you are allergic to aluminium chloride hexahydrate or the other ingredient of Anhydrol Forte, industrial methylated spirit. Only use it on the armpits, hands, or feet. Make sure that the treated areas are completely dry before applying the product. Do not use on broken or irritated skin. When treating the armpits, do not shave or use hair-removing products within 12 hours before or after applying Anhydrol Forte. Keep it away from the eyes, nose, and mouth. Avoid spillage as this may cause damage to you, your clothing, and your possessions. The product is highly flammable. Do not use it near flames or ignition sources.
How to Use Anhydrol Forte
For adults, children, and the elderly, use only on the armpits, hands, or feet. Ensure that the treated areas are completely dry before applying the product. To achieve this, do not bathe or shower immediately before applying the product, apply it last thing at night, just before going to bed. This is because your sweat glands tend to be least active while you are asleep. Before applying the product, ensure the cap is screwed on tightly, then tip the bottle up to wet the roller-ball. Do not shake the bottle. Unscrew the cap and apply the product to the affected areas, as required. Allow the product to dry naturally, then wash the hands (unless treating them). Leave the product on overnight, then wash it off thoroughly in the morning. Initially, apply Anhydrol Forte overnight in this way for two nights in a row, then do not use the product for the next two nights. Repeat this two-nightly treatment cycle for as long as necessary. Increase or decrease the frequency of application to suit your own requirements.
Possible Side Effects
Like all medicines, Anhydrol Forte can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. A common reaction to this type of treatment is skin irritation and redness at the site of application. This is normally mild and temporary. If it becomes troublesome, try applying the product less often, or you may wish to apply a mild hydrocortisone cream to help to relieve the irritation. If you spill the product on your clothes, fabrics, jewellery, or metal and polished surfaces it may damage them permanently.
How to Store Anhydrol Forte
Keep out of the sight and reach of children. Always replace the cap tightly after use. Store the bottle upright to avoid spillage. Do not store the product above 25°C. The product is highly flammable. Store it away from flames or ignition sources. Do not use after the expiry date shown on the container. The expiry date refers to the last day of that month.
