Antifungal (athlete's foot, nail fungus)

Terbinafine (Lamisil)

Terbinafine hydrochloride · ラミシール · ラミシール外用

Athlete's foot is common in Japan's humid summers and drugstores stock a wall of terbinafine and other antifungal creams, sold as Lamisil AT and many store brands. Oral terbinafine for nail fungus requires a dermatologist, who may instead offer the newer topical nail lacquers approved in Japan.
