DIRECTIONS FOR USE
This medicine is suitable for most adults and children but a few people who take other medication or who have long term medical conditions should not use it. If you are in any doubt, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
Adults and children of all ages:
| Age | Dose |
| Adults and children of all ages | Apply the powder to the infected skin once or twice a day (e.g. at night and in the morning). |
- For cutaneous use only, which means it is applied directly to the affected area of skin.
- Wash the infected area and dry it well. 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.
- Sprinkle the powder onto the infected area and surrounding skin. It may be used on broken skin and is particularly useful where a drying effect is required. The powder can also be dusted inside socks, shoes and clothing which are in contact with the infected area.
- Wash your hands carefully after applying the powder 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.
- Continue treatment until the lesions have completely healed.
- If symptoms persist talk to your doctor.
Warning - Do not exceed stated dose
