Chemist 4 U don't just use manufacturer's descriptions. We use medical content writers to research the products and provide useful information in an easy to understand format.
We then have our qualified pharmacists check the content for both quality and accuracy.
We think that this is the level of service our customers should expect from us.
We don't think you should accept any less online.
What is Lamisil Gel?
Lamisil Gel is a treatment for athlete’s foot which provides relief from symptoms while tackling the cause of infection and providing lasting protection. It relieves itching and burning around the affected area, freeing you from discomfort caused by athlete’s foot or jock itch.
What causes athlete’s foot?
Athlete’s foot is caused by fungi which live on your skin. When these fungi are given a warm, moist environment (like between your toes if your feet sweat a lot and you wear tight fitting shoes) they thrive, causing infection in your skin. This is how you get athlete’s foot.
How does Lamisil Gel help to treat athlete’s foot?
Lamisil Gel contains the active ingredient terbinafine, which works as an antifungal agent. This means it works to tackle the fungi which cause athlete’s foot or other fungal skin infections, treating the cause of the infection. It also helps to soothe symptoms of itching and burning caused by infection.
How to use Lamisil Gel.
Apply Lamisil Gel once a day for one week. Before using Lamisil Gel, wash your hands and make sure the affected area is clean and dry. Apply a small amount of Lamisil Gel to the affected area and rub in gently. Wash your hands after using Lamisil Gel.
When should Lamisil Gel not be used?
Lamisil Gel is not suitable for use by those under the age of 16. Do not use Lamisil Gel if you are allergic to any of the listed ingredients. Do not use Lamisil Gel on the eyes, mouth, face, or on damaged skin.
