Warning on women Mitchum deodorant for CKD users

Posted by sdanderson007 @sdanderson007, Jan 26 3:24pm

I just noticed my Women Mitchum deodorant 48h protection has aluminum sesquichlorohydrate as its main ingredient (25%) and carries the warning: ASK A DOCTOR BEFORE USE IF YOU HAVE CKD. Has anyone else seen this and asked their doctor about it? I've used it many years.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Support Group.

My husband and I both use a Mitchum antiperspirant that is non allergenic and for folks with sensitive skin. I will have to check the label. I have Stage 3 CKD.

I just recently noticed this warning on Right Guard - Gel. I'll need to check with the nephrologist - or if someone has info, would be great!

Just found this on Healthline website....

SHOULD YOU AVOID ANTIPERSPIRANTS IF YOU HAVE CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE (CKD)?
The NKF advises people to avoid skin care products with aluminum if they already have stage 4 kidney disease.

At this stage, the kidneys are working at a level of only 30% and can’t clear out aluminum (also present in kidney medications and dialysis fluid) fast enough. This may allow it to build up in your body and trigger health problems.
