Drug Class and Mechanism

Lamisil is an antifungal agent that is taken by mouth or applied to the skin. Lamisil acts by interfering with the ability of fungi to make chemicals, called sterols, that are an important part of the membrane that surrounds fungal cells and holds them together. This weakens the cell membrane. Oral Lamisil is more effective for treating fungal nail infections than griseofulvin (Fulvicin; Gris-Peg) and itraconazole (Sporanox), two other antifungal agents, used for treating fungal nail infections. Topical Lamisil was approved by the FDA in 1993. Lamisil oral tablets were approved in 1996.
