Lamisil 250 mg - 14 tablets

Terbinafine is an allylamine belonging to a group of antifungal agents. An antifungal agent against dermatophytes, mold, and some dimorphic fungi. Terbinafine is either an antifungal or antifungal against yeasts, depending on the type. Terbinafine interferes with fungal ergosterol synthesis by inhibiting squalene epoxidase in the fungal cell membrane at an early stage. This leads to a deficiency in ergosterol and accumulation of squalene inside the cells, 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 dermatophyte skin infections. It is also effective against skin yeast infections, especially those caused by the Candida genus. Topical terbinafine appears to be effective in pityriasis versicolor caused by Pityrosporum ovale.
