Xerac Ac is indicated for the treatment of hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), particularly in areas such as the underarms, hands, and feet where over-the-counter antiperspirants may not be effective.
The exact mechanism is not fully specified by the manufacturer. Aluminum chloride, the active ingredient, is thought to work as an antiperspirant by forming a gel-like substance that temporarily blocks sweat ducts, reducing sweat production in the applied area.
Apply only to dry skin at bedtime and wash off in the morning. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes. May cause skin irritation, redness, or stinging. May stain clothing. Consult a healthcare provider if used on broken or irritated skin.
