Aluminium Chlorohydrate
Aluminium Chlorohydrate Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Food Interaction and all others data.
Aluminium Chlorohydrate is a group of water-soluble aluminum complexes with the general formula AlnCl(3n-m)(OH)m. It is included up to 25% in over-the-counter hygiene products as an active antiperspirant agent. The primary site of action of aluminum chlorohydrate is at the level of the stratum corneum layer, which is relatively near the skin surface . It is also used as a coagulant in the water purification process.
Aluminium Chlorohydrate serves to reduce excessive sweating by directly blocking the sweat ducts .

Uses
Aluminium Chlorohydrate is a compound used as an antiperspirant.
Indicated for use as an antiperspirant.
Aluminium Chlorohydrate is also used to associated treatment for these conditions: Bullae of the feet, Excessive sweating and body odor, Hyperhidrosis, Sweating, Secondary skin infection
How Aluminium Chlorohydrate works
Aluminum salts plug eccrine sweat pores and forms aggregates with swear proteins that bind to the wall of the sweat duct and form a tenuous membrane .
Toxicity
Dermal and oral LD50 in rat is > 2000 mg/kg .
Food Interaction
No interactions found.Volume of Distribution
No pharmacokinetic information available.
Elimination Route
Penetration of aluminum chlorohydrate following dermal application is minimal, with the rate being around 0.01% and up to 0.06% in pre-damaged skin . In a preliminary study, dermally applied aluminium chlorohydrate displayed 0.012% of the applied aluminium being absorbed through the skin, which accounts for 4 mcg of aluminum following a single dermal application . This is about 2.5% of the aluminium typically absorbed by the gut from food over the same time period .
