Lamisil Cream

Lamisil Cream (also marketed as Lamisil AT) is a topical antifungal medication containing terbinafine hydrochloride 1%. It is used to treat common fungal skin infections such as athlete’s foot, jock itch, and ringworm. It works on the skin to treat the fungal infection that causes symptoms such as itching and scaling.

Below is a quick overview of important facts for patients and caregivers:

Lamisil Cream is used to treat certain fungal skin infections. According to official labeling, it:

• Cures most cases of ringworm (tinea corporis)
• Cures most cases of jock itch (tinea cruris)
• Relieves cracking, burning, itching, and scaling associated with these conditions

Lamisil Cream is also indicated for athlete’s foot (tinea pedis) when used as directed.

Lamisil Cream contains terbinafine hydrochloride, an antifungal medication that inhibits the enzyme squalene epoxidase in fungal cells. This action:

• Blocks the production of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes
• Causes the accumulation of squalene within the fungal cell
• Disrupts the fungal cell membrane structure
• Leads to fungal cell death.

Always follow your healthcare provider’s instructions and apply only to clean, dry skin. General guidelines include:

1. Wash the affected area with soap and water.
2. Dry the skin thoroughly before application.
3. Use the cap tip to break the seal and open the tube.
4. Apply a thin layer of this topical cream to the affected area and surrounding skin.
5. Rub in gently until absorbed.
6. Wash your hands after each use.

For athlete’s foot, wear properly fitting, ventilated shoes and change both socks and shoes at least once daily. Children under 12 years of age should ask a doctor before using this product.

Use Lamisil Cream as directed for the specific type of infection being treated.

Adults and children 12 years and over:

For athlete’s foot:

• Between the toes only: apply twice daily (morning and night) for 1 week.
• On the sides or bottom of the foot: apply twice daily (morning and night) for 2 weeks.
• Wear properly fitting, ventilated shoes and change socks and shoes at least once daily.

For jock itch and ringworm:

• Apply once daily (morning or night) for 1 week.

Infections may return if treatment is stopped too early or applied irregularly. Use for the full recommended treatment duration unless directed otherwise by a healthcare professional.

Other antifungal medications may be considered depending on the type and severity of the fungal infection and patient-specific factors.

Brand availability may vary by location and supply. Treatment selection should be determined by a healthcare provider based on infection type and clinical evaluation.

Lamisil Cream (terbinafine 1%) is often compared with other topical antifungal medications such as clotrimazole and miconazole. While all treat common fungal skin infections, they differ in mechanism and treatment duration.

Terbinafine may require a shorter treatment duration for certain infections, particularly athlete’s foot. However, the most appropriate treatment depends on the infection type, severity, and individual response.
