Fungal infections of the skin are common, and can cause real discomfort. Lamisil AT 1% Gel has been developed to treat the fungal infections described below. By following the instructions carefully you will need to use the medicine for one week only.

Lamisil AT 1% Gel contains Terbinafine which is an antifungal, and works by killing the fungi causing your skin problem.

Lamisil AT 1% Gel is used to treat the skin problems caused by fungi in athlete's foot (tinea pedis), dhobie itch/jock itch (tinea cruris) and ringworm (tinea corporis).

Athlete's foot: appears only on the feet (usually both, but not always), where it often appears in between the toes. It can also appear on the instep, soles, or other areas of the feet. The most common type of athlete's foot causes cracking or scaling of the skin, but you may also have mild swelling, blisters, or weeping ulcers.

• Lamisil AT 1% Gel is recommended for athlete's foot when it occurs between the toes

Dhobie/Jock Itch: appears in the groin and inner thigh area, usually on both sides but often with one side more than the other, where It can spread further between the legs to the buttocks, or up towards the stomach. Dhobie Itch looks like a clearly bordered rash, which may have blisters.

Ringworm: usually appears as circular, sharp-edged areas of red rash, with dry, scaly or crusty patches towards the edges. Lamisil AT 1% Gel is suitable for ringworm occurring on the trunk of the body, legs, arm, neck or head (but not face).

If you are not sure about the cause of your infection, please talk to your pharmacist or doctor before using the gel and they will advise you.

When to use Lamisil AT 1% GEL:

• Apply Lamisil AT 1% Gel to the affected areas once a day, for one week.
• You should not stop using the gel before the recommended time as this may allow the infection to return or reduce the successful cure rate.

How to use Lamisil AT 1% Gel:

• Apply enough gel to put a thin layer on the infected skin and surrounding areas
• Rub in gently
• Wash your hands after touching infected skin so that you do not spread the infection on yourself or to others

When used between the toes or buttocks, or on the groin, the treated area may be covered with a light gauze strip, especially at night. If you do use gauze, use a fresh, clean gauze strip each time.

Lamisil AT 1% Gel should start to improve your skin condition in a few days although full skin healing after the infection has cleared will take longer, up to 4 weeks, because of damage caused during infection.

You should not continue using the gel after the one-week treatment period: Even though you will not be using the gel during the second week, improvement should continue. If you have not noticed any signs of improvement within 2 weeks of first starting treatment, please see your doctor or pharmacist who will advise you.
