Description

Driclor Roll-on Antiperspirant – 75ml

Driclor Roll-on Antiperspirant is a pharmacy-strength treatment for excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), suitable for use on the underarms, hands, and feet. It is designed for people whose sweating is not adequately controlled by regular antiperspirants.

How It Works

Driclor contains aluminium chloride hexahydrate, which works by blocking the openings of sweat glands in the skin. This reduces the amount of sweat that can reach the skin’s surface, helping to keep you dry over time. With regular use, sweating typically decreases significantly, and you may need to apply it less frequently as your condition improves.

Directions for Use

Apply Driclor to clean, completely dry skin at bedtime. Roll on a thin layer to the affected area (underarms, hands, or feet) and allow it to dry fully before covering. Wash the treated area thoroughly in the morning. In the early stages of treatment, apply every night until sweating is under control, then reduce to once or twice a week as needed. Do not apply to broken, irritated, or recently shaved skin. Driclor is for adults and children aged 6 years and over. Always read the patient information leaflet before use. If you are unsure about the correct dose, speak to your PillSorted pharmacist.
