Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Aluminum Chloride Hexahydrate 35% Topical Liquid is a specially designed formulation intended for direct application to the skin or mucosal surfaces. This formulation is often chosen for localized treatment, or when the goal is to avoid systemic effects. It is a potent astringent, which means it can shrink or constrict body tissues, making it particularly effective in treating a variety of conditions.

One of the primary uses of Aluminum Chloride Hexahydrate 35% Topical Liquid is in the treatment of hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating. The astringent properties of the formulation work to block the sweat glands temporarily, reducing the amount of sweat produced. This can provide significant relief for individuals suffering from this condition, improving quality of life and reducing associated discomfort or embarrassment.

Additionally, this formulation can be used to help control minor bleeding from superficial wounds or minor skin abrasions. The astringent action causes the blood vessels to constrict, slowing or stopping the flow of blood. This can be particularly useful in a clinical setting, or for patients who are prone to bleeding due to conditions such as hemophilia or those on anticoagulant therapy.

It's important to note that while Aluminum Chloride Hexahydrate 35% Topical Liquid is generally safe for use, it should be applied as directed by a healthcare professional. Overuse or misuse can lead to skin irritation or burns. It should not be used on broken or irritated skin, and contact with eyes and mucous membranes should be avoided. If any adverse reactions occur, such as severe burning or itching, discontinue use and consult a healthcare provider.

As compounding pharmacists, we are here to answer any questions you may have about this formulation. Whether you're a patient seeking more information about its use, or a prescriber wanting to understand more about its potential applications, don't hesitate to reach out to us. We're here to help ensure that this formulation is used safely and effectively to provide the maximum therapeutic benefit.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Aluminum Chloride Hexahydrate 35% Topical Liquid is a potent astringent that works by constricting and collapsing protein-rich cells, which subsequently helps to control sweating and minor bleeding. This formulation is often used to treat conditions such as hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), bromhidrosis (body odor), and minor cuts or abrasions.

While Aluminum Chloride Hexahydrate 35% Topical Liquid is generally safe for use, it's important to be aware of potential drug interactions. This medication should not be used with other astringent or drying products (such as abrasive soaps, alcohol-containing products, or other topical acne or skin treatments) unless directed by a healthcare provider. Using these products together may increase the risk of skin irritation, dryness, or damage.

Additionally, Aluminum Chloride Hexahydrate 35% Topical Liquid may interact with certain medications that are applied topically, including but not limited to, benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, and topical retinoids. These interactions could potentially alter the effectiveness of either medication or increase the risk of adverse effects. Therefore, it's crucial to inform your healthcare provider of all the medications you are currently using, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter products, and herbal supplements.

It's also important to note that Aluminum Chloride Hexahydrate 35% Topical Liquid should not be applied to broken, irritated, or recently shaved skin, as this can lead to increased absorption of the medication and potential systemic effects. Avoid contact with the eyes, nose, mouth, and other mucous membranes. If accidental contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.

Patients should be advised to apply this medication as directed by their healthcare provider, usually once daily at bedtime. The area should be dry before application, and the medication should be left on for 6 to 8 hours before washing off. Clothing should not be put on over the treated area to avoid staining.

As with any medication, it's important to use Aluminum Chloride Hexahydrate 35% Topical Liquid responsibly and under the guidance of a healthcare provider. If you have any questions or concerns about this medication, its use, or potential interactions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. We're here to help ensure your treatment is safe and effective.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Aluminum Chloride Hexahydrate 35% Topical Liquid is a specially formulated medication that works by altering the sweat production process in the body. It is primarily used to treat conditions such as hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), bromhidrosis (body odor), and other related conditions. The active ingredient, Aluminum Chloride Hexahydrate, is a powerful astringent that works by blocking the sweat glands, thereby reducing the amount of sweat produced.

When applied to the skin or mucosal surfaces, the Aluminum Chloride Hexahydrate in the solution reacts with the water in the sweat gland ducts to form a gel plug. This plug effectively blocks the sweat from reaching the skin's surface. Over time, the plugged ducts will shrink and sweat production in the treated areas will decrease. This process is reversible, and the sweat glands will return to normal function over time if treatment is discontinued.

It's important to note that this medication does not cure the underlying condition causing excessive sweating or body odor, but it can significantly alleviate the symptoms. The effectiveness of the treatment can vary depending on the severity of the condition and the individual's response to the medication. Regular application as directed by a healthcare provider is necessary to maintain the therapeutic benefits.

While Aluminum Chloride Hexahydrate 35% Topical Liquid is generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience side effects such as skin irritation or itching at the application site. These side effects are usually mild and temporary. However, if they persist or worsen, it's important to contact a healthcare provider immediately.

Before starting treatment with Aluminum Chloride Hexahydrate 35% Topical Liquid, patients should discuss their medical history and any current medications with their healthcare provider to ensure this medication is a safe and effective choice for them.

Other Uses

Aluminum Chloride Hexahydrate 35% Topical Liquid is a versatile formulation that can be used for more than just treating a number of disease states. While it is most recommended for conditions such as excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) or even in certain methods of treating superficial skin lesions, its benefits extend beyond these applications. The astringent and antiseptic properties of Aluminum Chloride Hexahydrate make it a helpful resource in wound care, primarily in promoting the drying of weeping wounds and reducing secretions.

Furthermore, this formulation can be beneficial for people who experience excessive salivation or those struggling with chronic drooling problems. Its signature antiperspirant action can help reduce saliva production when applied to the inner cheek or lip. It is also efficient in stemming bleeding from minor cuts or abrasions. Additionally, it has at times been used by dermatologists as a part of treatment for other skin conditions involving excess secretion.

However, every individual's medical conditions and tolerances vary greatly. It is extremely crucial to consult with your healthcare provider or pharmacist to make sure this formulation is safe and appropriate for you before use. They can provide advice not just on its efficacy but also on potential side effects, and guide you on proper application technique and frequency.

Like any medication, Aluminum Chloride Hexahydrate 35% Topical Liquid has to be used with caution, particularly while treating children, the elderly, pregnant or breastfeeding women, considering its active ingredient. This information should not be considered as a complete guide, but as preliminary knowledge to assist in your decision-making process.
