Buy Lamisil 1%

Lamisil 1% (Terbinafine) is used topically to treat fungal infections of the skin, such as tinea pedis (athlete's foot), tinea cruris (jock itch), and tinea corporis (ringworm). It is also used in treating pityriasis vesicolor, a fungal skin infection that results in lightening or discoloration patches on the neck, chest, arms, or legs, often appearing lighter or darker than surrounding areas. The active ingredient in Lamisil 1% is Terbinafine hydrochloride, which falls under the class of drugs known as allylamine antifungal agents. Terbinafine works by inhibiting an enzyme called squalene epoxidase, crucial for synthesizing ergosterol, a key element of fungal cell membranes. By disrupting this process, Terbinafine impedes the growth and survival of fungi, thus facilitating their elimination. This mechanism aids in treating fungal infections and relieving associated symptoms.
