contains butylhydroxytoluene (E321).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lamisil Dermgel contains butylhydroxytoluene (E321) which may cause local skin reactions (eg contact dermatitis) or be irritating to eyes and mucous membranes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Lamisil Dermgel contains&nbsp;ethanol&nbsp;(96%)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This medicinal product contains 100 mg \/ g&nbsp;ethanol&nbsp;(96%)

described in this leaflet or as your doctor advised.&nbsp;Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you are unsure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The recommended&nbsp;dose&nbsp;is to use&nbsp;gel&nbsp;once a day on the affected area for a week according to the instructions below unless your doctor prescribes otherwise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Foot fungus&nbsp;between the toes:<\/strong>&nbsp;use once daily for a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How to&nbsp;use&nbsp;gel<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adults only:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Clean and dry the affected skin area and the surrounding skin area and then wash your hands.<\/li><li>Remove the cap and if this is your first time using&nbsp;gel&nbsp;, use the end of the cap to perforate the mouth of the tube.<\/li><li>Gently&nbsp;apply&nbsp;a large amount of&nbsp;gel&nbsp;that is applied over the entire affected area and the surrounding skin area in a thin layer.<\/li><li>Gently&nbsp;massage gel&nbsp;one into the skin.<\/li><li>Close the cap on the tube.<\/li><li>Wash your hands after using the&nbsp;gel,&nbsp;otherwise there is a risk that you will spread the&nbsp;infection&nbsp;to other parts of the skin or to other people.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are treating an&nbsp;infection&nbsp;in any fold of skin on your body, you can cover the treated area with gauze, especially at night.&nbsp;If you do, take a new, clean gauze pad each time you apply&nbsp;gel&nbsp;one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use&nbsp;gel&nbsp;one during the recommended treatment time even if&nbsp;infection&nbsp;one seems to be better after a few days.&nbsp;Infection&nbsp;usually gets better within a few days but it can come back if the&nbsp;gel is&nbsp;not applied regularly or if the treatment is stopped too soon.&nbsp;The skin infection usually gets better within a few days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you do not notice any improvement within a week after stopping treatment, consult your pharmacist to ensure that the product has been used correctly or consult a doctor to re-evaluate the diagnosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unused&nbsp;gel&nbsp;should be discarded no later than 16 weeks after first opening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Facilitate the treatment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep the affected skin area clean by washing it regularly.&nbsp;Pat the skin dry carefully but without rubbing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Try not to scratch the area even if it itches.&nbsp;It can lead to further damage and delay the healing process or spread the&nbsp;infection&nbsp;one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because these&nbsp;infections&nbsp;can be transmitted to other people, use your own towel and clothes and do not share them with others.&nbsp;These should be washed frequently to protect you from a new&nbsp;infection&nbsp;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If you forget to take Lamisil Dermgel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you forget to apply&nbsp;gel&nbsp;one, do so immediately when you notice it and then continue as normal.&nbsp;If you notice it at the time of your next treatment, then apply a normal amount of&nbsp;gel&nbsp;and continue the treatment as usual.&nbsp;Use&nbsp;gel&nbsp;one according to the instructions.&nbsp;This is important because missed treatment sessions increase the risk of&nbsp;recurrence of the&nbsp;infection&nbsp;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If you accidentally swallow the medicine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have accidentally swallowed this medicine or if e.g.&nbsp;If a child has ingested the medicine by mistake, contact a doctor, hospital or the Poison Information Center (tel. 112) for risk assessment and
