Pharmacology

Terbinafine, an Allylamine antifungal, inhibits Ergosterol biosynthesis (an essential component of the fungal cell membrane) by inhibiting Squalene Epoxidase. This causes fungal cell death due to increased membrane permeability caused by the accumulation of high concentrations of Squalene, rather than Ergosterol deficiency. Terbinafine Hydrochloride may be fungicidal depending on the drug concentration and the fungal species tested in vitro.
The clinical significance of in vitro data, on the other hand, is unknown. Terbinafine has been shown in vitro and in clinical infections to be effective against most strains of the following microorganisms: Trichophyton mentagrophyte and Trichophyton rubrum.

Dosage of Xfin 250mg Tablet

• Terbinafine 250 mg (one tablet) once daily for 6 weeks to treat fingernail onychomycosis.
• Terbinafine 250 mg (one tablet) once daily for 12 weeks to treat toenail onychomycosis.
• The best clinical effect is seen several months after mycological cure and treatment discontinuation. This is related to the time required for healthy nail growth.

Relief of the clinical symptoms usually occurs within a few days. Irregular use or premature discontinuation of treatment carries the risk of recurrence. If there are no signs of improvement after two weeks, the diagnosis should be verified.

Interaction

According to research, terbinafine inhibits the CYP450 2D6 isozyme in vivo. Among the drugs primarily processed by the CYP450 2D6 isozyme are tricyclic antidepressants, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, beta-blockers, antiarrhythmics class 1C (e.g., flecainide and propafenone), and monoamine oxidase inhibitors type B. Terbinafine should be administered with caution, and the dose of the 2D6-metabolized medication may need to be reduced.

Contraindications

Terbinafine tablets and cream are not recommended for people who are hypersensitive to terbinafine.

Pregnancy & Lactation

Terbinafine cream has been shown to have no negative effects on fetal toxicity and fertility in animals. There is no clinical experience with Terbinafine in pregnant women; consequently, terbinafine should not be used unless the possible benefits outweigh the potential risks. Terbinafine is secreted in breast milk, so mothers who are breastfeeding should avoid terbinafine medication.
