1. What Driclor is and what it is used forDriclor Solution (called Driclor in this leaflet) contains a medicine called aluminium chloride. This works as a strong anti-perspirant.

Driclor is used to treat very heavy sweating (perspiration) of the armpits, hands and the feet.

Everyone sweats (perspires) to some extent, especially when it is hot, but some people sweat and become wet and sticky even under normal conditions. Embarrassment, stress and tension can make this problem worse.

2. Before you use DriclorDo not use Driclor if:• you are allergic to aluminium chloride or any

of the other ingredients (listed in Section 6).

Try not to get Driclor on breasts whilst breast-feeding, and take special care to wash-off any traces before you begin feeding.

flat surface.Unscrew the cap carefully. Throw the cap away.

2. Put the roller ball into the neck of thebottle. Gently push down.

3. Screw on the larger cap firmly. This willsecure the roller ball.

How much Driclor to use• Ensure the area to be treated is completely dry

before use to avoid skin burning and irritation.• When you first start using Driclor, you should

use it once a day, last thing at night just before you go to bed. This is because your sweat glands are least active at this time. This should stop you sweating during the day.

• When sweating has stopped during the day, you may be able to cut down to using Driclor twice a week or less.
