What Experts Say

Terbinafine blocks an enzyme fungi need to build their cell membrane, which kills the fungus causing the infection.

The solution form spreads easily over larger or hairy skin areas and is applied once or twice daily as advised.

The full course, usually one to two weeks, should be finished even if symptoms clear early to prevent the infection from returning.
