Indications 

Lamisil Cream is a topical medication that fights infections caused by fungi such as: 

• Tinea pedis (athlete’s foot) 
• Tinea cruris (jock itch) 
• Tinea corporis (ringworm) 

As an antifungal medication, Lamisil Cream works by inhibiting fungal growth, alleviating the symptoms of itching, burning, cracking, and scaling associated with the abovementioned conditions. 

Uses and Dosage 

Before using Lamisil Cream, and with every subsequent refill, carefully review its medication guide and patient information leaflet. Do not hesitate to consult with your doctor or pharmacist for any questions or clarifications. 

The length of treatment with Lamisil Cream may vary per individual based on the condition being treated and the response to the treatment. 

The typical administration of Lamisil Cream is as follows: 

• To manage athlete’s foot, wear shoes that fit well and are well-ventilated, and change socks and shoes at least once daily 
  • Apply the cream twice daily (morning and night) for one week or as directed by a doctor to treat the athlete’s foot between the toes. 
  • Apply the cream twice a day (morning and night) for two weeks or as directed by a doctor to treat the athlete’s foot on the bottom or sides of the foot. 
• To treat jock itch and ringworm – apply the cream once a day (morning or night) for one week or as directed by a doctor 

To apply the cream: 

1. Open the cream tube by breaking the seal with the cap’s tip 
2. Clean the affected skin with soap and water and let it dry before applying the cream. 
3. Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected area and surrounding skin as directed on the product packaging or as prescribed by your doctor. 
4. Wash your hand after every application, except if the treated area includes the hands. 

For the best results, use Lamisil Cream around the same time every day as prescribed. Avoid using it more frequently or for a longer duration than directed to minimize the risk of side effects. 

Continue using this cream until the end of the prescribed period, even if symptoms subside after a few days. Stopping the medication prematurely can cause a recurrence of the infection.
