What is Odaban Antiperspirant Spray used for?

Odaban is recognised worldwide to be one of the most effective yet gentlest antiperspirants for the control of excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) and body odour. By controlling excessive sweating, Odaban also reduces the chances of you developing associated health conditions such as Athlete’s Foot, Jock Itch, blisters and chafing.

Odaban can be used to control excessive sweating and body odour on the following areas of the body:

• Head and face
• Hands and feet
• Underarms
• Back and front torso
• Around the breast, buttocks and groin

How does Odaban Antiperspirant Spray work?

• Odaban is a silicone rather than an aqueous-based formula that has been proven to prevent skin irritation commonly associated with sweat control solutions.
• It is the drying effect of Odaban that prevents sweating, which causes the pores in the skin to become temporarily plugged with a combination of the active ingredient aluminium and skin protein.
• None of the ingredients are absorbed into the bloodstream but are slowly broken down, making Odaban a very safe and effective solution for excessive sweating and body odour.

How quickly does Odaban Antiperspirant Spray?

When used daily before bed Odaban offers 24-hour protection that for most people takes effect within a few days of use. For best results, this formula should be sprayed sparingly onto completely dry skin and washed off the next morning.

How to use Odaban Antiperspirant

Odaban is for external use only. One spray should be applied to the affected area of skin at bedtime to completely dry skin and washed off the next morning. Use sparingly as overuse can irritate the skin. Continue with nightly applications until your symptoms improve and then gradually reduce the number of weekly applications.

To avoid irritation:

• It is recommended that women, those with sensitive skin and for applications on the head always apply Odaban to the skin indirectly using a cotton wool pad or cotton bud.
• When applying Odaban to your armpits take care to only apply to the central area of the armpit, where most of the sweat glands are located.
• Men or those with armpit hair can apply 1 - 2 sprays of Odaban directly to the armpit from a distance of 10 cm. Excess spay can be removed with a tissue.

Before use, take the time to read the Patient Information Leaflet carefully.
