Product Description:

• Terbinafine is an allylamine with a range of antifungal activity.


• It is fungicidal against dermatophytes, moulds and certain dimorphic fungi.


• Terbinafine is either fungicidal or fungistatic against yeasts, depending on the species.


• Terbinafine interferes with fungal ergosterol biosynthesis by inhibiting squalene epoxidase in the fungal cell membrane at an early stage.


• This leads to a deficiency in ergosterol and to intracellular accumulation of squalene, resulting in fungal cell death.


• Terbinafine is highly effective in fungal infections of the skin, hair and nails caused by Trichophyton spp., Microsporum spp. and Epidermophyton floccosum.


• It is also effective against yeast infections of the skin, principally those caused by the genus candida.


• Topical terbinafine appears to be effective in pityriasis versicolor due to Pityrosporum arbiculare.
