1. What Lamisil AT 1% Cream is and what
it is used for
Lamisil AT 1% Cream contains the active ingredient
terbinafine hydrochloride which is an antifungal used to
treat fungal skin infection such as:
•
Athlete’s foot (tinea pedis) – Athlete’s foot appears
only on the feet (usually both, but not always), usually
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% Cream is recom-
mended for athlete’s foot when it occurs between the
toes. If you have a fungal nail infection (fungus inside
and under the nail) with discolouration of the nails and
changes in nail texture (thick or flaky), you should
consult your doctor because Lamisil AT 1% Cream is
not appropriate for this type of infection.
•
Dhobie itch/jock itch (tinea cruris) – Dhobie 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
