Can I stop using Lamisil® AT Cream as soon as my symptoms disappear?

What should I do if I forget to apply the cream?

Apply it as soon as you remember and continue treatment as directed. Do not apply twice the amount of cream.

Are there any side effects I should expect?

Most people don't experience any side effects. Rarely, someone might be allergic to an active ingredient.

I only have symptoms on one foot, so why should I treat both feet?

Only the area between my toes is infected. Why do I still have to apply the cream all over my feet?

What else can I do during treatment for athlete's foot?

Wash your feet daily and dry them well afterwards. You should also change your towel, washcloth and socks every day during treatment. And finally, resist scratching the infected area. This can cause the fungus to land on other surfaces, which could lead to re-infection.
