Lamisil AT 1% Gel

About Lamisil AT 1% Gel

Lamisil AT 1% Gel contains terbinafine hydrochloride, a powerful antifungal agent used to treat skin infections caused by fungi. Unlike creams, this gel formula provides a cooling sensation upon application and is quickly absorbed into the skin. It is specifically designed to target the fungi that cause athlete’s foot (tinea pedis) and dhobie itch (jock itch/tinea cruris), clearing the infection and relieving uncomfortable symptoms like soreness and scaling.

Lamisil AT 1% Gel is suitable for adults aged 16 years and over and comes in a convenient 15g tube:

• Lamisil AT 1% Gel – 15g
