A. Antiperspirant helps manage excessive sweating by creating shallow plugs that slow the production of sweat from the axilla. During the day, we have a higher body temperature and are more likely to be active, which results in the creation of less effective plugs. Overnight, we have a lower resting body temperature and a slower sweat rate, which allows for the creation of more effective plugs. With this in mind, we recommend instructing your patients to apply Secret^® Clinical Antiperspirant at bedtime for the best results.
