How To Use
How To Use Daktarin Intensive Cream 2%, 15g
Use by Adult Only
■ For topical use only, which means it is applied directly to
the affected area of skin.
■ Do not use more often than the stated dose shown in the
table.
How to apply the cream
■ Wash the infected area and dry it well (especially between
the toes). As many skin conditions are contagious, you
should keep a towel and flannel for your own use and not
share it so that you do not infect anyone else.
■ Apply the cream thinly onto the infected area and
surrounding skin.
■ Wash your hands carefully after applying the cream to
avoid spreading the infection to other parts of the body
or to other people. Similarly, clothing which comes into
contact with the infected areas, such as socks, should be
washed and changed frequently.
For skin infections of the trunk, groin, feet and hands, apply
Daktarin Intensiv Cream to the affected and immediate
surrounding area once or twice a day.
Your doctor will tell you how often to use it and for how long.
Depending on the type of infection, treatment may last 2 to
6 weeks.
The recommended dose is:
For Athletes Foot (infections between the toes)
Rub the cream gently between the toes
and surrounding area once or twice a day
(morning and night) for 4 to 6 weeks.
Treatment may be necessary for up to 6 weeks.
■ Continue to apply the cream to the affected areas for
a few days after signs of infection have cleared to prevent
them coming back.
■ If symptoms have not improved within 4 weeks talk to
your doctor
For Dhobie Itch (Jock Itch)
Rub the cream into the affected and
surrounding area once or twice daily.
■ Continue treatment for a few days after signs of infection
have cleared. Treatment may be necessary for up to
4 weeks. You may feel relief from symptoms quickly but
it is important that you continue to use the cream as
described to prevent them from coming back.
■ If symptoms have not improved within 4 weeks talk to
your doctor
