What is the active ingredient in Lamisil AT 1% Spray and how does it work?

The active ingredient in Lamisil AT 1% Spray is terbinafine, which is an antifungal used to treat skin problems caused by fungi.

It works by inhibiting the enzyme called squalene epoxidase, which plays a crucial role in fungal cell membrane synthesis. By stopping this enzyme, the fungal cells cannot grow, and eventually die off, thereby curing the skin problem caused by fungi.
