1. WHAT IS ANTIDRAL AND WHAT IS IT USED FOR

Antidral contains aluminum chloride, which reduces the activity of sweat glands by denaturing proteins contained in the glands and binding to fibrous fibers, which are the endings of external secretion glands. After applying the liquid, the pressure inside the sweat duct increases (feedback system), resulting in the inhibition of sweat secretion from the sweat glands. The other ingredients of the medicine facilitate the absorption of the active substance and significantly reduce the possibility of skin infections. Antidral is used externally on excessively sweating skin surfaces, i.e. on the skin of the feet, armpits, and hands. Antidral eliminates or alleviates unpleasant symptoms associated with excessive sweating.

2. IMPORTANT INFORMATION BEFORE USING ANTIDRAL

• The skin should not be washed immediately before using the medicine. If the liquid is used on the skin of the armpits, these areas should not be shaved within 12 hours before or after using the liquid, due to the possibility of skin reactions.

Important information about some ingredients of Antidral

Antidral contains ethanol (96%). This medicine contains 500 mg of alcohol (ethanol) per gram of liquid. Antidral may cause burning of damaged skin. In newborns (premature and full-term infants), high concentrations of ethanol may cause severe local and systemic toxicity due to significant absorption through immature skin (especially under occlusive dressings).

3. HOW TO USE ANTIDRAL

The liquid is used externally. Antidral should be used daily at night (when the activity of the sweat glands is lower), after thoroughly washing and drying the skin (avoid rubbing). In cases of less intense sweating, it is recommended to use the liquid every other or every third day, depending on the individual needs of the patient. This medicine should always be used in accordance with the description in the patient leaflet. In case of doubts, a doctor or pharmacist should be consulted.

Using a higher dose of Antidral than recommended

In case of overdose, skin irritation may occur. If skin irritation occurs, the use of Antidral should be discontinued. Irritated areas should be smeared with a mild hydrocortisone cream. Antidral can be used again after the complete disappearance of irritation symptoms. Overdose is treated symptomatically. In case of any further doubts related to the use of this medicine, a doctor or pharmacist should be consulted.
