Terbinafine 1% w/w

Usage and Instructions

Lamisil AT 1% Gel is applied once a day, for one week only, for all fungal infections.

Cleanse and dry the affected areas thoroughly and wash your hands. Treatment can be helped by keeping the affected areas clean by regular washing and careful drying with your own clean towels and clothes, and not rubbing or scratching the skin.

Rub the gel in lightly to the affected skin and surrounding areas (avoid application to where alcohol could cause stinging or irritation).

When used between the toes, buttocks or on the groin, the treated area may be covered with a light, fresh gauze strip, especially at night.

Replace the cap on the tube and wash your hands.

Even though you will not be using Lamisil AT 1% Gel during the second week, full skin healing after the infection has cleared will continue for up to 4 weeks. If you have not noticed any signs of improvement within 2 weeks of first starting treatment, please seek advice from your doctor or pharmacist.
