3. HOW TO USE ANTIHYDRAL:
Always use Antihydral exactly as described in this leaflet. Please check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure. Apply Antihydral thinly to the affected areas of skin once or twice a day and allow the paste to dry. After a few days, perspiration usually decreases, and Antihydral can then be used less frequently, as needed. If the skin becomes too dry and chapped during treatment, a greasy ointment should be applied temporarily. The skin can be cleansed with water before each new application of Antihydral. The duration of treatment will be determined by your doctor. Please talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you feel that the effect of this medicine is too strong or too weak.
If you have used more Antihydral than you should:
No cases of poisoning are known to date, nor are any expected. In case of an overdose, side effects may be intensified. If you experience any side effects that significantly affect you or that are not listed in this leaflet, please contact your doctor immediately so that they can take the necessary measures without delay.
