Tolnaftate (INN), sold under the brand name TAGRID, among others, is a synthetic thiocarbamate used as an anti-fungal agent that may be sold without medical prescription in most jurisdictions. It is supplied as a cream, powder, spray, liquid, and liquid aerosol. Tolnaftate is used to treat fungal conditions such as jock itch, athlete's foot and ringworm. Tolnaftate was discovered by Teruhisa Noguchi in 1962 while he was working for the Nippon Soda Company.
