Uses

If you're dealing with athlete's foot, jock itch, or ringworm, this medication can help. It effectively cures most cases of athlete's foot (tinea pedis), jock itch (tinea cruris), and ringworm (tinea corporis).

Dosage and Administration

To use this medication effectively, start by breaking the seal on the tube with the tip of the cap. Before applying the medication, wash the affected area of your skin with soap and water, then dry it completely.

If you're treating athlete's foot, it's important to wear well-fitting, ventilated shoes and change your shoes and socks at least once a day. For application, if the infection is between your toes, apply the medication twice a day—once in the morning and once at night—for one week, or as your doctor advises. If the infection is on the bottom or sides of your foot, continue applying it twice a day for two weeks. For jock itch and ringworm, apply the medication once a day, either in the morning or at night, for one week. Remember to wash your hands after each use to prevent spreading the infection.
