Brief Answer:
Information

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Lamisil Spray contains the anti fungal terbinafine. It won't help stop perspiration. And unless you have a diagnosed under arm fungal infection, it won't help, and can cause problems, such as not being effective if you did need an anti fungal. So I would not advise it for regular use.

I hope this information helps.
