For cutaneous use.
Adults
Lamisil AT 1% Gel is applied once daily for all indications. Cleanse and dry the affected areas thoroughly before applying Lamisil AT 1% Gel. The gel should be rubbed in lightly to the affected skin and surrounding area. In the case of intertriginous infection (submammary, interdigital, intergluteal, inguinal) the application may be covered with a light gauze, especially at night.
Duration and frequency of treatment Tinea corporis, tinea cruris 1 week once a day
Tinea pedis (interdigital type) 1 week once a day
Relief of clinical symptoms usually occurs within a few days. Irregular use or premature discontinuation of treatment carries the risk of recurrence. If there are no signs of improvement after two weeks, the diagnosis should be verified by a physician.
Use of Lamisil AT 1% Gel in the elderly
There is no evidence to suggest that elderly patients require different dosages or experience side effects different from those in younger patients.
Use of Lamisil AT 1% Gel in children
Not to be used in children under 16 years of age. Experience with Lamisil AT 1% Gel in children is limited and its use cannot therefore be recommended.

Lamisil AT 1% Gel should be used with caution in patients with lesions where alcohol could be irritating, such as lesions which are markedly inflamed or on sensitive areas of the body such as the face.
Lamisil AT 1% Gel is for external use only. It may be irritating to the eyes. In case of accidental contact with the eyes, rinse eyes thoroughly with running water.
Lamisil AT 1% Gel should be kept out of the reach of children.
Redness, itching or stinging may occur at the site of application, however treatment rarely has to be discontinued for this reason. These harmless symptoms must be distinguished from allergic reactions such as pruritus, rash, bullous eruptions and hives, which are rare but require discontinuation.
