Lamisil AT 1% Cream – 15g

Description

Lamisil AT 1% Cream – 15g

Lamisil AT 1% Cream is an antifungal treatment used to treat common fungal skin infections, including athlete’s foot (tinea pedis), ringworm (tinea corporis), and jock itch (tinea cruris). It relieves the itching, burning, and scaling associated with these infections while targeting the root cause.

⸻

How It Works

Lamisil AT contains terbinafine hydrochloride, which works by killing the fungi responsible for the infection. It does this by blocking the production of a substance called ergosterol, which fungal cells need to survive and grow. This destroys the fungal cell membrane, clearing the infection from the inside out.

Directions for Use

For adults and children aged 12 and over, apply a thin layer of cream to the affected area and surrounding skin once or twice daily. For athlete’s foot, treatment usually lasts 1 week; for ringworm and jock itch, treatment is typically 1–2 weeks. Wash and dry the affected area thoroughly before applying the cream. Always read the patient information leaflet before use. If you are unsure about the correct dose, speak to your PillSorted pharmacist.

Speak to your doctor or PillSorted pharmacist before use if you are pregnant, trying to conceive, or breastfeeding.
