Following your online assessment, one of our healthcare professionals will determine whether Anhydrol Forte® is suitable for you.

What is Anhydrol Forte® used for?

Anhydrol Forte® is used to manage excessive sweating affecting:

  • Underarms
  • Hands
  • Feet

It is intended for people whose sweating is more severe than can be controlled with standard antiperspirants.

How does Anhydrol Forte work?

Anhydrol Forte® contains aluminium chloride hexahydrate, which works by temporarily blocking the sweat glands. This reduces the amount of sweat reaching the surface of the skin, helping to keep the treated area dry.

Once sweating is controlled, treatment is usually only needed once or twice a week to maintain the effect.

Who can use Anhydrol Forte?

Anhydrol Forte® may be suitable for adults experiencing excessive sweating of the underarms, hands or feet that has not responded to ordinary antiperspirants.

Speak to your pharmacist or healthcare professional before use if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or have an underlying medical condition.
