Hello, Jr! How are you?

No, this is an antibiotic and it is only effective at treating bacterial infections. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.

However, athlete's foot is actually a fungal infection, so you'll need an antifungal medication to treat it.

Is there anything else I can help with?
