Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Aluminum Chloride Hexahydrate 35 Topical Gel is a specialized formulation designed for targeted treatment of various skin conditions. This semisolid formulation is dispensed through a pump mechanism, which allows for easy and precise application on the skin. The gel-like consistency ensures that the active ingredients are absorbed effectively into the skin, providing relief from symptoms and promoting healing.

The active ingredient in this formulation, Aluminum Chloride Hexahydrate, is a potent astringent. It works by constricting and shrinking the skin tissues, thereby reducing the amount of sweat produced in the treated areas. It can also be used to treat other conditions such as warts, calluses, and certain types of dermatitis, where reducing moisture and hardening the skin can be beneficial.

For patients using this formulation, it is important to apply it as directed by your healthcare provider. The gel should be applied to clean, dry skin and allowed to dry completely before covering with clothing. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes, and wash hands thoroughly after application. Some patients may experience skin irritation or sensitivity, so it's recommended to test the product on a small area of skin first.

For prescribers, it's important to note that while Aluminum Chloride Hexahydrate 35 Topical Gel is generally well-tolerated, it may not be suitable for all patients. Those with kidney disease, liver disease, or certain skin conditions may require a different treatment approach. As with all medications, it's important to consider the patient's overall health status, other medications, and potential drug interactions when prescribing this formulation.

If you have any questions about Aluminum Chloride Hexahydrate 35 Topical Gel, whether you're a patient or a healthcare provider, don't hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our team of knowledgeable compounding pharmacists is always here to help.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Aluminum Chloride Hexahydrate 35% Topical Gel is primarily used to treat hyperhidrosis, a condition characterized by excessive sweating. It works by blocking the sweat glands, thereby reducing the amount of perspiration produced by the body.

While Aluminum Chloride Hexahydrate 35% Topical Gel is generally safe for use, it may interact with certain medications and substances. It is important to inform your healthcare provider of all the medications you are currently taking, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, vitamins, and herbal supplements.

Specifically, Aluminum Chloride Hexahydrate 35% Topical Gel may interact with antiperspirants or deodorants containing aluminum, zirconium, or other active ingredients. Using these products in conjunction with Aluminum Chloride Hexahydrate 35% Topical Gel may increase the risk of skin irritation. It is recommended to avoid using other antiperspirants or deodorants while using this medication.

Additionally, Aluminum Chloride Hexahydrate 35% Topical Gel may interact with certain topical medications, particularly those that are acidic in nature. These include products containing salicylic acid, glycolic acid, or alpha hydroxy acids. Using these products in conjunction with Aluminum Chloride Hexahydrate 35% Topical Gel may increase the risk of skin irritation and should be avoided unless directed by a healthcare provider.

It is also important to note that Aluminum Chloride Hexahydrate 35% Topical Gel should not be applied to broken, irritated, or recently shaved skin, as this may increase the risk of skin irritation and absorption of the medication into the bloodstream, potentially leading to systemic side effects.

Alcohol or other substances that can dry or irritate the skin should also be avoided while using Aluminum Chloride Hexahydrate 35% Topical Gel. These substances may increase the risk of skin irritation and should be avoided unless directed by a healthcare provider.

As with any medication, it is important to use Aluminum Chloride Hexahydrate 35% Topical Gel as directed by your healthcare provider. If you have any questions or concerns about potential drug interactions, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Aluminum Chloride Hexahydrate 35 Topical Gel is a potent antiperspirant formulation that works by affecting the cells that produce sweat. The active ingredient, Aluminum Chloride Hexahydrate, is a powerful astringent that works by blocking the sweat glands, thereby reducing the amount of perspiration produced by the body. This is particularly useful in treating conditions such as hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating, which can cause significant discomfort and social embarrassment for patients.

The gel formulation is designed to be easily applied to the skin. It is dispensed through a pump mechanism, which allows for precise application to targeted areas. This is particularly beneficial for patients who need to apply the medication to specific areas of the body, such as the underarms, hands, or feet. The gel-like consistency also ensures that the medication stays in place, allowing for maximum absorption of the active ingredient.

Once applied, the Aluminum Chloride Hexahydrate works by forming a plug within the sweat gland, effectively blocking sweat production in the treated area. This effect can last for several days, after which the treatment can be reapplied as needed. It's important to note that while this treatment can significantly reduce sweating, it does not cure hyperhidrosis. It simply manages the symptoms.

For prescribers, it's important to note that while Aluminum Chloride Hexahydrate 35 Topical Gel is generally well-tolerated, some patients may experience side effects such as skin irritation or allergic reactions. Therefore, it's recommended to start with a lower concentration and gradually increase as tolerated. Also, instruct patients to apply the gel at night, when sweat glands are less active, and to wash the treated area in the morning before going about their daily activities.

For patients, it's crucial to understand that this medication should only be used on the skin. Avoid contact with the eyes and mouth, and do not apply to broken or irritated skin. If you experience severe irritation or other adverse effects, discontinue use and contact your healthcare provider immediately.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
