Lamisil AT Cream - Prescription Strength. Fungal infections of the skin are common, and can cause real discomfort. Lamisil AT has been developed to treat the fungal infections provided you follow the instructions in this leaflet carefully. Terbinafine Hydrochloride is an antifungal, and works by killing the fungi causing your skin problem. Lamisil AT is used to treat the skin problems caused by fungi in athlete's foot (tinea pedis) and dhobie itch, e.g. jock itch (tinea cruris). Athlete's foot appears only on the feet where it often appears 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. Dhobie itch appears in areas of the body where the skin may be folded, especially if damp. This is often the groin and inner thigh area, usually on both sides but often with one side more than the other, where it can be spread further between the legs to the buttocks, or up towards the stomach. It can also appear in the fold under breasts, in the armpits, or other folded areas. Dhobie itch looks like a clearly bordered rash, which may have blisters. If you are not sure about the cause of your infection, please talk to your pharmacist or doctor before using the cream and they will advise you. Are you allergic to Lamisil (terbinafine) or any of the ingredients in the cream? Are you pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning a family? Are you, or the person you are buying it for, less than 16 years of age? If the answer to any of these questions is 'Yes' please tell your pharmacist before using Lamisil AT. Do not stop using the cream before the recommended time as this may allow the infection to return. Lamisil AT should start to improve your skin condition in a few days, although full skin healing after the infection has cleared will take longer, up to 4 weeks, because of damage caused during infection.
