DryDerm Iontophoresis Solution
Iontophoresis is a good option when DryDerm gel or DryDerm PP doesn't quite do the trick for palms and/or soles. It can also be used in a complementary fashion, using both options to treat subborn cases of hyperhidrosis.
Iontophoresis is most often done using ordinary tap water. Having said this, clinical studies have demonstrated that solutions of glycopyrrolate (0.05%) or aluminum chloride hexahydrate (1%) provide better and more sustained responses than water alone. |
The Dry Pharmacist offers an aluminum chloride based solution as a ready-to-use concentrate (40%). Once the solution is diluted with water to 1%, it's ready to be used for iontophoresis.
Not only is DryDerm solution more effective than water alone, it is likely to reduce the number of iontophoresis treatments required. The clinical study demonstrated that individuals needed a fewer number of treatments before returning to their pre-treatment level of sweating. |
Iontophoresis is not for Everyone
