Dosage & Directions

1. Wash the affected area with mild soap and water, then dry thoroughly, especially between toes and skin folds.
2. Apply a thin layer of Daktarin Cream to the affected skin and a small margin around it twice daily (morning and evening).
3. Gently rub in until absorbed. Do not use more often than directed.
4. Continue treatment for at least 7–10 days after symptoms clear to help prevent recurrence.
5. For athlete’s foot: change socks daily and consider using an antifungal shoe/sock hygiene routine.

If a dose is missed, apply when remembered and then continue as normal. Do not double the amount to make up for a missed application.
