1. WHAT LAMISIL ONCE IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Lamisil Once is a single dose treatment for tinea pedis (athlete’s foot).
Lamisil Once works by killing the fungus which causes tinea pedis (athlete’s foot). When it’s applied to the feet, it leaves a colourless film that stays on the skin delivering the active substance into the skin.
How you know that you have tinea pedis (athlete’s foot)
Tinea pedis (athlete’s foot) appears only on the feet. It often starts between the toes, but it can also spread to the soles and sides of the feet.
The most common type of tinea pedis (athlete’s foot) causes cracking or scaling of the skin. You may also have mild swelling, blisters, or weeping sores. This may often be associated with an itching or burning feeling.
If you are not sure whether your symptoms are really due to tinea pedis (athlete’s foot), talk to your doctor or pharmacist, before using Lamisil Once.
If you are diabetic you should visit your healthcare professional for regular check ups as diabetes can increase the risk of foot problems.
2. BEFORE YOU USE LAMISIL ONCE
Do not use Lamisil Once
- If you are allergic (hypersensitive) to terbinafine or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed over the page at the end of section 6).
Take special care with Lamisil Once
- Children and adolescents under 18 are not to use this medicine, since there is not enough experience.
- If you suffer from long-term fungal infection of the soles and heels of the feet with thickened and/or obviously flaky skin do not use this medicine. Tell your doctor if you think you may have this condition, because you may need another medicine.
- Only use this medicine to treat the skin of your feet. Be careful not to get it on your face, in your eyes, or on damaged skin (other than at the treatment site) where it could be irritating.
If it accidentally gets into your eyes, rinse thoroughly with running water. See your doctor if you are still in any discomfort.
- This medicine should be used with caution in patients with lesions where alcohol could be irritating. For example, after sun exposure or in case of severe skin scaling.
- For external use only. Do not swallow.
- Keep away from naked flames (contains alcohol).
Using other medicines
- Do not apply other medicines or treatments to your feet (including any you have bought without a prescription) at the same time as Lamisil Once.
- Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are
taking or have recently taken any other medicines, including any you have bought without a prescription.
Pregnancy and breast-feeding
- If you are pregnant or breast-feeding, think you might be pregnant or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine.
- Do not use Lamisil Once while breast-feeding, as terbinafine is excreted in breast milk.
Driving and using machines
- The use of Lamisil Once does not affect the ability to drive and use machines.
3. HOW TO USE LAMISIL ONCE
For adults only. Do not use on patients under 18.
Apply only once. Do not apply it a second time.
You must apply Lamisil Once to both feet, even if
signs are visible only on one foot. This is to make
sure you get rid of the fungus completely: it could be present in other parts of the feet even if there are no visible signs of it. When applied to the feet, the medication dries quickly to a colourless film. The tube has enough medication to treat both feet.
Lamisil Once delivers the active ingredient into the skin where it lasts for a number of days to kill the fungus that causes athlete’s foot. To get the best results, do not wash or splash your feet for 24 hours after applying it.
When to use
It is best to apply Lamisil Once after a shower or a bath.
How to use
- This is a single application treatment.
- Wash both feet and dry them carefully.
- Wash and dry your hands.
- Remove the cap from the tube.
- Apply to both feet - use about half the tube for each foot, as needed to cover skin. Finish one foot before treating the other.
- Apply with fingers to each foot as shown below. Spread evenly onto the skin between, under, and over all toes. Then apply over the sole and sides of your foot.
- Do not rub or massage it in.
- Treat the other foot in the same way, even if the skin looks healthy. This is to make sure you get rid of the fungus completely - it could be on the other foot even if there are no signs of it.
- Leave it to dry to a film for 1 to 2 minutes, before wearing your normal footwear.
- Replace the cap on the tube and throw away any remaining product.
- Do not keep or give any remaining product to other people.
- Wash your hands with warm soapy water after the application.
- Do not wash or splash your feet for 24 hours after applying Lamisil Once. Gently pat dry your feet after gentle washing.
- Do not apply it a second time.
Lamisil Once will start to kill the fungus immediately. The film that is formed means the active
ingredient penetrates your skin where it continues
