About Onabet Lotion

This lotion is used to treat an infection that occurs between the toes known as athlete’s foot. It is an azole antifungal that works by blocking the growth and spread of the fungal cell wall, thereby killing it.

This lotion should not be used if you are allergic to any of its ingredients or other azole antifungals. Let your doctor know if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant or are breastfeeding if you’re taking any prescription or non-prescription drugs, herbal medicines and diet supplements.

Firstly, clean and dry the affected skin area very well. Apply the Onabet Lotion cream over it and wash your hands very well after application. Continue using the cream throughout the course of the treatment so that the infection is completely cleared up. Do not bandage the area unless directed by the doctor.
