How to use Certain Dri Solution:

Use Certain Dri Solution as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.

• Certain Dri Solution is to be used only at bedtime because sweat glands are most inactive during sleep. This allows application for 6 to 8 hours when sweating does not occur.
• Do not apply to broken, irritated, or recently shaved skin.
• Wash and completely dry the affected area. Using a hair dryer on a warm setting for a few minutes can help ensure dry skin.
• Assemble the applicator according to package instructions. Some packages provide an applicator; others instruct you to use cotton balls.
• For underarms - To minimize irritation, let the alcohol evaporate (if needed, blow dry with a hair dryer on a cold air setting), leaving an evenly distributed film of medicine on the skin. Wear a T-shirt while sleeping to prevent the medicine from being rubbed off on bed linens.
• For hands or feet - Apply Certain Dri Solution to both palms or soles. Let the alcohol evaporate, leaving a thin film on the skin. Cover the treated area with plastic wrap held in place by a mitten, cotton glove, or sock to prevent the medicine from being rubbed off on bed linens during sleep. Do not use tape.
• For scalp - Apply Certain Dri Solution evenly to the scalp. Let the alcohol evaporate, leaving a thin film on the skin. Wear a plastic shower cap to keep the medicine from being rubbed off during sleep.
• Wash the treated area the next morning thoroughly with soap or shampoo to remove excess medicine and prevent skin irritation. Towel dry the skin or scalp.
• Do not use other deodorants or antiperspirants while using Certain Dri Solution.
• Repeat use of Certain Dri Solution for 2 or 3 nights until the desired lack of sweating is achieved. After that, usually once or twice a week should maintain the desired effect.
• Avoid contact with your eyes. If contact occurs, wash eyes thoroughly with water.
• If you miss a dose of Certain Dri Solution and you are using it regularly, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule.

Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use Certain Dri Solution.
