Antihydral Cream

Having good "climbing skin" is as important to climbers as having good tires for NASCAR drivers.

Antihydral ointment is a highly effective antiperspirant designed to reduce excessive sweating and enhance skin grip, perfect for climbers and those with heavy perspiration. A small application provides long-lasting dryness and control, helping you stay confident and active.

Active Ingredients

• 13% Methenamin

"On the skin, with a little moisture and a little acidity, Methenamin releases formaldehyde. The formaldehyde causes proteins at the sweat gland openings to become denatured leading to gel-like plugs that can last several days after use. The drug was temporarily taken off the market in the early 90's when better medications came along but has since been reintroduced due to bacterial resistance. Bacteria can't develop resistance to formaldehyde, eliminating any fears of breeding resistant bacteria from repeated exposure. For this reason, those climbers using Dehydral or Antihydral cream do not need to worry about developing resistant bacteria strains on their skin or in their body."
