No prescription is required for this product, as it is an over-the-counter (OTC) medicine. This page is limited to product, safety and handling information.

If you would like guidance before buying, you can speak to a doctor or pharmacist through an online consultation on DoctorOnCall. Orders are dispensed by a registered pharmacist and delivered to your address.

Wash and thoroughly dry the affected area before application. Squeeze a small amount of cream and apply a thin, even layer to the affected skin and about 1 to 2 cm of the surrounding healthy skin, gently rubbing it in. Use the cream twice daily, typically in the morning and before bed, for the duration recommended on the packaging or by your pharmacist. Wash your hands thoroughly after application, and continue use for the full course as advised on the packaging or by your pharmacist.

Not applicable in the sense of an oral dose — Three Legs Tolnaftate Cream is for external, topical use only. A thin layer is generally applied to the affected skin and surrounding area twice daily (morning and night) for adults and children as directed on the packaging or by a pharmacist. There is no oral dosing schedule, and the cream should never be swallowed.

Three Legs Tolnaftate Cream should generally be used before the expiry date printed on the tube and outer packaging. Do not use the product beyond this date, as its antifungal effectiveness cannot be guaranteed.

Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the tube tightly closed after each use and store it out of reach of children.

• Common: mild stinging, burning, or itching sensation at the application site, usually temporary.
• Common: local skin dryness or slight redness.
• Serious: allergic contact dermatitis with worsening redness, swelling, blistering, or intense itching, which requires stopping use and seeking medical advice.

• Known hypersensitivity or allergy to tolnaftate or any other ingredient in the cream.
• Not for use in or near the eyes, mouth, nose, or other mucous membranes.
• Not recommended as a sole treatment for fungal infections of the nails (onychomycosis) or scalp (tinea capitis), which typically require oral antifungal therapy.
• Avoid applying to open wounds, severely broken, or infected skin without medical advice.

• Tolnaftate cream is applied topically and has minimal systemic absorption, so clinically significant drug interactions are unlikely.
• Avoid applying other topical medicated creams, steroids, or irritant products to the same area at the same time without pharmacist advice, as this may increase skin irritation or reduce effectiveness.
• No specific food interactions are known for this topical-only product.

• Keep the affected area clean and completely dry before every application, since fungi thrive in moisture.
• Wear breathable cotton clothing and socks, and change them daily, especially in Malaysia and Singapore’s humid climate.
• Avoid sharing towels, socks, or footwear with others as a general hygiene precaution.
• Continue treatment for the full recommended duration as advised on the packaging or by your pharmacist.
• Wash your hands immediately after applying the cream.
• See a doctor or pharmacist if your nails or scalp are affected, or if there is no change in the affected skin after about 4 weeks of consistent use.

Precautions: Use Three Legs Tolnaftate Cream only on the skin as directed, and avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, and other mucous membranes. Do not use on broken, infected, or severely inflamed skin without first checking with a pharmacist or doctor. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should seek professional advice before use, particularly for extended treatment.

When to See a Doctor or Pharmacist: Speak to a doctor or pharmacist if the affected skin does not change after about 4 weeks of regular use, if it spreads, worsens, oozes, or is associated with fever or severe pain, or if your nails or scalp are involved, as these need professional evaluation.
