Before Using This MedicineIf you are taking this medicine
without a prescription, carefully read and follow any precautions on the label.
For tolnaftate, the following should be considered:
Allergies - Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or
allergic reaction to tolnaftate. Also tell your health care professional if
you are allergic to any other substances, such as preservatives or dyes.
Pregnancy - Tolnaftate topical preparations have not been shown
to cause birth defects or other problems in humans.
Breast-feeding - Tolnaftate topical preparations have not been reported
to cause problems in nursing babies.
Children - Tolnaftate should not be used on children up to 2
years of age, unless otherwise directed by your doctor. Although there is
no specific information comparing use of tolnaftate in children 2 years of
age and older with use in other age groups, this medicine is not expected
to cause different side effects or problems in children 2 years of age and
older than it does in adults.
Older adults - Many medicines have not been studied specifically
in older people. Therefore, it may not be known whether they work exactly
the same way they do in younger adults or if they cause different side effects
or problems in older people. There is no specific information comparing use
of tolnaftate in the elderly with use in other age groups.
Other medicines - Although certain medicines should not be used
together at all, in other cases two different medicines may be used together
even if an interaction might occur. In these cases, your doctor may want to
change the dose, or other precautions may be necessary. Tell your health care
professional if you are using any other topical prescription or nonprescription
(over-the-counter [OTC]) medicine that is to be applied to the same area of
the skin.
