The only difference between the Rx and non-Rx versions in the US is the concentration. The non-Rx usually have about 12% active ingredient, while the Rx strength is about 20%.

My British non-Rx version is 20%.

Probably very similar to the stuff I use, Odaban, also from the UK, also non-Rx, also 20%. The concentration that renders it Rx-only is different in the UK from the US. Is yours roll-on or spray?

Roll-on. I have found that a single application can last for 2 or 3 days, although some of the hotter days we've had recently have defeated it and I have sweat a little bit.

If you're in the UK, try Odaban. Might be even cheaper there. It's a spray, so less messy, and I've found I only need it like once per week. And no, I don't work for them

What areas can the spray be used on? I don't find the roll-on to be messy.

I've only used it under my arms. My old stuff was a roll-on, and I found I was always either getting too much or not enough. The spray also doesn't leak if I travel with it.

i shave my arm pits but I've also been using my 'miracle product' for about a year now called Maxim Anti-Persperant. Iuno if it's anything like what some have said about the aluminum thing but it's a roll-on liquid that's like 14 bucks for a bottle that lasts a few months. regular deodorants/antipersperants don't stop me from sweating and if i don't use this it can get pretty bad. but you put this stuff on right before you go to bed and you don't have to worry about sweat at all the next day. go to www.stopsweat.com if you're interested.
