Lamisil Cream 1% 15g (Tube): Effective Antifungal Treatment for Skin Infections
Description:
Lamisil Cream 1% is a topical antifungal medication that effectively treats a variety of skin infections caused by fungi. It is available in a 15g tube, containing 1% terbinafine hydrochloride, the active ingredient.
This white, homogeneous cream is easy to apply and absorbs quickly into the skin, providing targeted relief.
How it Works:
Lamisil Cream works by targeting the fungal cells directly, inhibiting their ability to produce ergosterol, a vital component of their cell membranes. This disrupts their growth and ultimately leads to their death.

- Ringworm (Tinea):
- Tinea Pedis (Athlete’s Foot)
