How long does it take tinactin (tolnaftate) athlete's foot spray to work?
7 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
4 weeks: If the tinactin (tolnaftate) works, it will take one month. This is not the strongest antifungal on the market.

30 days: Most anttfungal otcs require 30 days to be totally effective, also you must spray your shoes with lysol to prevent reinfection.
