LamisilAT contains the active ingredient terbinafine. Terbinafine has a fungicidal effect, which means it kills the fungal pathogen, in contrast to fungistatic drugs that inhibit fungal proliferation. With fungistatic therapy, the fungal pathogens are removed through skin renewal (3-4 weeks). LamisilAT remains in the skin beyond the period of use and continues to fight the pathogens.
LamisilAT products contain antifungal ingredients that work by disrupting the cell membranes of the fungi, preventing them from growing and reproducing. This helps to eliminate the infection over time.
