You can purchase the Drysol at Wal-mart or Shoppers Drug Mart. Wal-mart is cheaper. The cost at Wal-mart is between $16-$18 and Shoppers Drug Mart cost around $18-$25. I purchased the product a couple of years ago, so the price might be different. Even though the directions given on the piece of paper said that you have to use a blow dryer to dry your skin completely before applying Drysol, but my skin still felt irritating once it gets dry. If you have sensitive skin, it is best not to use it. My skin felt really itchy and uncomfortable a few minutes after applying it.

Drysol( branded name for aluminum chloride hexahydrate) is a prescription medication commonly prescribed for excessive sweating. A fairly common problem, excessive sweating can be limited to the armpits, but often affects the palms and soles of the feet as well. Once a person has tried several different kinds of over-the-counter antiperspirants without success, doctors often recommend Drysol.
Drysol is reported to work in 80 percent of the people who use it for excessive sweating. Doctors generally recommend applying it to problem areas after drying the skin completely. Wearing it only at bedtime and then washing it off in the morning with plain water reduces the chance of skin irritation.
Generally, treatment is repeated nightly until sweating is under control. This may happen after just two or more treatments. Thereafter, you can apply Drysol once or twice weekly or as needed.
Drysol should not be applied to broken, irritated, or recently shaved skin. Nor should it be used with regular daytime antiperspirants or deodorants. Once the excessive sweating has stopped, you can try using your regular underarm products again.
hope this helps u...
have a nice day ......

It is usually found at your local drugstores like shoppers drug mart and you get it behind the counter. I can't remember how much it costs but it's worth it. I found it kind of stung my skin at first but if you apply it and then lay on your bed with your arms up to allow it to dry, it usually works the best.
