The effect of this medicine is cumulative and may take months to show. It varies depending on the intended use and the dosing. The time for which this medicine remains effective in the body is not clearly established. Dosing, duration and the condition for which this medicine is given determine the effective time duration. If regular antiperspirants do not control your excessive sweating, a strong antiperspirant containing aluminium chloride is usually the first line of treatment. Anhydrol forte (roll on), odaban (spray) and driclor (roll on) are sold in most chemists or on-line, and are available on a prescription from your gp. In addition to medications and procedures, there are a number of things you can try to help reduce excessive head and face sweating. Some of these at-home remedies include: bathing frequently to reduce skin bacteria and moisture applying antiperspirant before bed and in the morning keeping a soft, absorbent towel in your bag, desk, or car to help dry excess sweat using plain, unscented face powder to help absorb moisture avoiding spicy foods and caffeine, both of which can increase sweating avoiding hot temperatures or dressing too warmly wearing breathable, moisture-wicking fabrics staying well-hydrated carrying a small handheld or clip-on fan to help keep your face cool and dry eating smaller, more frequent meals to help regulate digestion, which produces heat not exercise immediately before work or other social activities, as sweating may continue for some time after exercise feel free to connect to learn more anti fear technique.
