DongA Pharmaceutical said Friday that it has launched Trbinew Once, an easy-to-use foot fungus treatment.

The main ingredient of the treatment is terbinafine hydrochloride, which sterilizes the feet fungus bacteria. Patients have only to use the treatment once, which makes the therapy convenient as it removes the hassle of repeated application.

The medication works by forming a thin transparent film, which releases an active ingredient that continually acts on the skin and kills the feet fungus bacteria. To use it, patients should wash the affected area thoroughly before applying the treatment and leave the area dry for 24 hours for maximum efficacy.

“For perfect treatment of foot fungus, it is better to apply the treatment on both feet even if one of the feet is not showing any symptoms,” a company official said. “The company hopes that the new treatment will help relieve patients suffering from foot fungus.”
