Lamisil AT Jock Itch Cream has been introduced by brand owner Kato Healthcare USA as an over-the-counter (OTC) topical antifungal product for athletes to help them combat the irritating condition. The product is formulated with terbinafine hydrochloride 1% that's rated to cure most instances of jock itch in as little as one week. This is achieved by targeting and destroying the fungus -- tinea cruris -- while also providing soothing relief from itching, burning and redness to do double duty when applied to the affected areas.
Senior Brand Manager for Karo Healthcare USA Tamara Savitz spoke on the Lamisil AT Jock Itch Cream saying, "We’re launching Lamisil AT Jock Itch Cream to make treating fungal infections simpler. With just one application a day for one week, its treatment time is two times faster than the leading brand,* so people can experience fast symptom relief and move on.”
