Indications

Terbinafine tablet is indicated for the treatment of onychomycosis of the toenail or fingernail due to dermatophytes and non-dermatophyte fungi.

Pharmacology

Terbinafine, an allylamine with antifungal activity, is fungicidal against dermatophytes, molds, and certain dimorphic fungi, and either fungicidal or fungistatic against yeasts. It interferes with fungal ergosterol biosynthesis by inhibiting squalene epoxidase, leading to a deficiency in ergosterol and intracellular accumulation of squalene, resulting in fungal cell death.

Dosage & Administration:

• Terbinafine tablets are essential for hair or nail infections.
• The usual oral dose is Terbinafine 250 mg daily for 2 to 12 weeks, depending on the infection.
• Terbinafine appears safe in the elderly, with dosage reduction in significant hepatic or renal impairment.

Interaction

In vivo studies show that terbinafine is a CYP450 2D6 isozyme inhibitor. Caution is advised when co-administering with drugs metabolized by this isozyme.
