• Use only on the armpits, hands or feet.
• Ensure that the treated areas are completely dry before applying the product. To achieve this:
  • do not bathe or shower immediately before applying the product,
  • apply it last thing at night, just before going to bed (this is because your sweat glands tend to be least active while you are asleep).
• Before applying the product, ensure the cap is screwed on tightly, then tip the bottle up to wet the roller-ball. Do not shake the bottle.
• Unscrew the cap and apply the product to the affected areas, as required.
• Allow the product to dry naturally (this should only take a couple of minutes), then wash the hands (unless treating them).
• Leave the product on overnight, then wash it off thoroughly in the morning.
• Initially, apply Anhydrol Forte overnight in this way for two nights in a row, then do not use the product for the next two nights.
• Repeat this two-nightly treatment cycle for as long as necessary.
• Increase or decrease the frequency of application to suit your own requirements (but bear in mind that if you experience side effects this probably means that you are applying it too often - see Section 4).

The use of ordinary antiperspirants or deodorants is not necessary when using Anhydrol Forte. If you still wish to use these types of products, you should either:

• apply them only on the days in between, when you are not using Anhydrol Forte, or;
• apply them after washing off Anhydrol Forte the next morning, making sure that all antiperspirants and deodorants are washed off and the skin is completely dry before re-applying Anhydrol Forte.

The product may cause damage if it gets into the eyes or mouth. Rinse the eyes or mouth with plenty of water. If rinsing one eye, take care to avoid washing product into the other eye. Then seek urgent hospital attention.

Excessive use may lead to irritation of the treated skin. If irritation occurs, apply the product less frequently and treat the symptoms as described in Section 4.

Do not worry if you occasionally forget to use this product, just carry on using it when you remember.
