Directions for use

• Adults: Exoderil should be applied once daily to the affected areas, which should be clean and thoroughly dried.
• Children and adolescents: The safety and efficacy of naftifine hydrochloride in children and adolescents under 18 years of age have not yet been established. No data are available.
• Duration of treatment: In the case of fungal skin infections, it is important that treatment is continued for a further 2 weeks after all symptoms have disappeared, even if the symptoms (itching, burning, etc.) improve rapidly, in order to achieve a permanent cure. If there is no improvement in the symptoms within 4 weeks of starting treatment, consult your doctor.
• Method of use: Exoderil is intended for external use only. Apply a sufficient amount of the solution directly from the bottle or using a cotton wool ball, ensuring that the affected area(s) are thoroughly moistened and the surrounding skin is covered. Exoderil must not come into contact with the eyes or be applied to mucous membranes.

To ensure the fungal infection heals as quickly as possible, you should observe the following guidelines:

1. Clothing that comes into contact with the affected skin may harbour the pathogens causing the fungal infection. These items of clothing should therefore be changed daily.
2. Normal and, above all, dry skin is the best protection against fungal infections. You should therefore avoid wearing tight-fitting, non-breathable clothing on the affected areas of skin (e.g. synthetic-fibre socks in tight shoes). You should also dry the affected areas of skin thoroughly after washing. Washcloths and towels should be changed daily.
3. If you have athlete’s foot, you should not walk barefoot at home, in the bathroom or, for example, in a hotel. This will help prevent the further spread of the pathogens and, above all, a repeat infection.
4. You should only return to saunas and steam rooms once the fungal infection has cleared up.
