What is the strongest antifungal cream?

Published in Fungal Treatments 1 min read

Lamisil, containing terbinafine hydrochloride, is generally considered the most effective over-the-counter antifungal cream for treating fungal infections.

Other effective antifungal creams:

  • Butenafine: Can be more effective than other antifungal creams that prevent fungal growth, like clotrimazole.
  • Tolnaftate and Amorolfine: These are considered the most potent topical antifungal agents.
  • Ketoconazole: A cream primarily used for fungal skin infections, including yeast infections and tinea versicolor.

It's important to consult with a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment, as the most effective cream for your fungal infection may depend on the specific type and severity.
