Early verdict · Few reviews so farWhat the gurus are saying
Terbinafine cream ranks as the best over-the-counter antifungal for athlete's foot and ringworm, though some fungal strains have grown resistant to it, which means it may not work for everyone. For toenail fungus taken orally, about 75 percent of people achieve a mycologic cure after 12 weeks, though only around 38 percent see a completely normal-looking nail. The generic version works identically to the brand name Lamisil, so checking the ingredient list for terbinafine 1% lets you save money; apply it thoroughly to all surfaces of the feet, between toes, and under nails, and stick with it consistently, as stopping too early is a common reason for treatment failure.
