if aluminum in antiperspirants is harmful

February 2005

Patients are asking if aluminum in antiperspirants is harmful.

In the U.S. there's a new warning on antiperspirants to "Ask your doctor before use if you have kidney disease."

This is causing concern...but it is very rarely a problem for people with healthy kidney function. Most people can easily eliminate aluminum...but it can accumulate in patients with end-stage renal dysfunction.
