Treatment of hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) with concurrent risk or presence of bacterial skin infections. May be used for intertriginous areas prone to moisture and bacterial overgrowth.
Aluminum chlorohydrate acts as an astringent, causing protein precipitation in sweat ducts to reduce perspiration output. Neomycin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic that inhibits bacterial protein synthesis, providing antimicrobial activity against susceptible gram-negative and some gram-positive organisms.
For topical use only. Avoid application to large body surface areas or broken skin, as systemic absorption of neomycin may increase risk of nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity. Do not use if allergic to aminoglycosides. Discontinue if irritation, rash, or signs of superinfection occur.
