Lamisil Spray 15ml – Fast-Acting Antifungal Treatment for Athlete's Foot

Lamisil Spray is a clinically proven antifungal treatment containing terbinafine hydrochloride 1% w/w, an effective active ingredient that targets the fungus responsible for athlete's foot (tinea pedis). The convenient spray format makes it easy to apply without touching the affected area, making it ideal for treating hard-to-reach areas and reducing the risk of spreading infection.

Lamisil Spray works by killing the fungi that cause athlete's foot rather than simply relieving symptoms. Many people experience an improvement within just a few days, although it is important to complete the full course of treatment to maximise effectiveness and reduce the chance of the infection returning.

What is Lamisil Spray Used For?

Lamisil Spray is indicated for the treatment of:

• Athlete's foot (tinea pedis)

Your pharmacist or doctor may recommend an alternative formulation of terbinafine for other fungal skin infections depending on the location and severity of the infection.

How Lamisil Spray Works

The active ingredient, terbinafine hydrochloride, belongs to a group of medicines known as allylamine antifungals. It works by preventing fungi from producing an essential component of their cell membrane, causing the fungal cells to die and allowing healthy skin to recover.

Directions for Use

Always read the patient information leaflet before use.

1. Wash and thoroughly dry the affected area.
2. Spray a thin layer onto the infected skin and surrounding area.
3. Allow the spray to dry naturally.
4. Wash your hands after application unless they are being treated.

For athlete's foot, treatment is usually applied once daily for 7 days, or as directed by the patient information leaflet or your healthcare professional.

Continue treatment for the recommended duration even if symptoms begin to improve after a few days.
