What is the active ingredient in Lamisil AT 1% Gel and what does it do?

The active ingredient in Lamisil is terbinafine hydrochloride. It works as an antifungal agent by targeting the fungi which cause athlete’s foot, treating the cause of infection while also relieving itching and burning.

What is an Athletes's foot?

An athlete’s foot is a fungal skin infection. This happens when the natural fungi on your skin are allowed to multiply and cause infection. This usually happens if you have feet that sweat a lot and wear tight-fitting shoes. This warm, moist environment is the perfect place for these fungi to thrive, causing a sore and itchy rash when your skin is infected.

What causes Athlete's Foot?

Athlete's foot is caused by fungi that thrive in warm and moist environments such as:

• Changing rooms
• Showers
• Public pools

Walking barefoot in these places can put you at greater risk. Athlete’s foot usually occurs between your toes, but it can also affect the soles and sides of your feet.

What symptoms should I look out for if I have athlete's foot:

• Burning or itchy feet and toes
• Scaly, very dry, cracked, or peeling feet
• A scaly, red foot rash
• Softening of the skin between your toes
• Whitening of the skin between your toes
• Cracked skin between your toes (may bleed)
• Smelly feet
