Aluminium Chloride Hexahydrate

Pregnancy: No data exist on the use of topical Aluminium Chloride Hexahydrate in pregnant women. Animal studies have shown reproductive toxicity when the substance is given orally or by injection. However, aluminium is unlikely to penetrate the skin, so no effects on pregnancy are expected when the Aluminium Chloride Hexahydrate solution is used as directed.

Lactation: It is not known whether topical Aluminium Chloride Hexahydrate passes into human breast milk. Because aluminium is unlikely to penetrate the skin, no effects on the breastfed newborn or infant are expected with use of the Aluminium Chloride Hexahydrate solution. During lactation, care should be taken to avoid getting the solution on the breasts, so that the baby is not accidentally exposed to it. If any solution does come into contact with the breasts, all traces should be washed off before breastfeeding resumes.
