What is Lamisil Once
Lamisil Once is a cream designed to comfort treat an athlete's foot. The energetic ingredient, Terbinafine Hydrochloride, works by killing the fungus that causes the infection.
How effective is Lamisil Once Cream?
Lamisil Once Cream is an effective treatment for athlete's foot. The active ingredient - terbinafine, is proven to kill the fungi that cause athlete's foot. One application normally leads to recovery within 4 weeks.
Can I buy Lamisil Once Cream online?
Lamisil Once Cream does not require a prescription, although you are very welcome to book an appointment with a health expert at Click Pharmacy to discuss how best to use this product. Lamisil Once Cream can be purchased online and will be sent directly to you by Next Day Delivery. Multipacks are also available.
What dose should I choose?
Lamisil once comes in a single 4g tube. Half of the tube should be used for each foot. Even if one of the feet looks problem-free, the cream should still be applied. Not recommended for patients under 18.
How should I apply Lamisil Once Cream?
To apply Lamisil Once Cream, perform the following steps:
1) Wash both feet.
2) Dry the feet carefully, do not share the towel with others to avoid the spread of infection.
3) Wash and dry your hands.
4) Remove the cap from the tube.
5) Apply to both feet – use about half the tube for each foot, as needed to cover skin. 6) Finish one foot before treating the other.
7) Apply with fingers to each foot between the toes and around the bottom of the foot.
Spread evenly onto the skin between, under, and over all toes. Then apply over the sole and sides of your foot. See the image inside the Patient Information Leaflet for further detail.
8) Do not rub or massage in.
9) Treat the other foot in the same way, even if the skin looks healthy. This is to make sure you get rid of the fungus completely - it could be on the other foot even if there are no signs of it.
10) Leave it to dry to a film for 1 to 2 minutes before wearing your regular footwear.
11) Replace the cap on the tube and throw away any remaining product.
Do not keep or give any remaining product to other people.
Wash your hands with warm soapy water after the application.
Do not wash or splash your feet for 24 hours after applying Lamisil Once.
Gently pat dry your feet after gentle washing.
Do not apply it a second time.
How does Lamisil Once Cream work?
Athletes foot is a fungal infection that usually develops between the toes. It is most common for people whose feet are sweaty while wearing tight-fitting shoes.
Lamisil contains the active ingredient terbinafine, which is an antifungal medicine. It is formulated to stay in the skin and kill the fungus that causes an athlete's foot infection, not just inhibit its growth.
With proper use of the cream, the symptoms of athlete's foot — such as itching, burning and cracking — should improve within a few days.
How long do I need to apply Lamisil Once Cream to work before I notice a difference?
Lamisil Once will start to kill the fungus immediately. The film that is formed means the active ingredient penetrates your skin where it continues to work for several days. Your skin should start to improve within a few days, but it may take up to 4 weeks to heal completely.
If you have not noticed any signs of improvement within 1 week after applying Lamisil Once, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
Do not use the product a second time for a particular athlete’s foot episode if it did not work after the first application.
To help with treatment, Keep the affected area clean by washing it regularly after the first 24 hours. Dry it carefully without rubbing. Although the skin may be itchy, try not to scratch it because this could cause more damage and slow the healing process or spread the infection.
Use your own towel and clothes and do not share them with other people because athlete’s foot can be passed on easily. Wash your clothes and towels frequently to protect yourself from re-infection.
What are the side effects of Lamisil Once Cream?
Like all medicines, Lamisil Once can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them.

• difficulty breathing or swallowing, swelling of the mouth, face, lips, tongue or throat (severe allergic reaction);

What is the difference between Lamisil Once Cream and Daktarin Aktiv/Daktarin Intensiv?
Daktarin Aktiv is a cream that uses miconazole nitrate to fight the fungus that causes Athlete's Foot. It must be applied every day.
Daktarin Intensiv uses ketoconazole to fight the fungus that causes Athlete's Foot. Daktarin Intensiv can also be used for Dhobie Itch. It is also applied every day.
Lamisil Once Cream works a little differently to the Daktarin Creams. The cream is applied once. The active ingredient - terbinafine - continues to work for the next month to fight the infection.
After using Lamisil Once Cream you may experience a number of side effects. Although these side effects are often mild and disappear within 24 hours of application. Common side effects include:
- Itching
- Irritation
- Burning like sensation
- Redness
