Terbiderm Forte 250Mg Tablets 10S (Pack Size 1 X 10S)

How it works

Terbinafine is an allylamine which has a broad spectrum of antifungal activity. At low concentrations Terbinafine tablets is fungicidal against dermatophytes, moulds and certain dimorphic fungi. The activity versus yeasts is fungicidal or fungistatic depending on the species. Terbinafine tablets interfere selectively with fungal sterol biosynthesis at an early stage through inhibition of the enzyme squalene epoxidase. This leads to a deficiency in ergosterol and to an intracellular accumulation of squalene in the fungal cell membrane. Both the deficiency in ergosterol and the accumulation of squalene are responsible for fungal cell death.
