Tolnaftate Antifungal Creams, Powders and Sprays

Tolnaftate is an antifungal medication used to treat various fungal infections of the skin. It is available over-the-counter in several topical forms, including creams, powders, sprays, and solutions. Tolnaftate works by inhibiting the growth and spread of fungi, particularly dermatophytes, which are responsible for these common skin infections. It is applied topically to the affected area, usually twice daily, for a duration that depends on the specific infection being treated. While tolnaftate is effective for many superficial fungal infections, it is important to follow the treatment regimen as directed to ensure full resolution of the infection. If symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional.
