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. Terbinafine works by stopping the growth of fungi, and in turn, killing them. 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.
