The recommended dosage of Terbinorm spray is to apply a thin layer to the affected area twice daily.
It is important to clean and dry the area before application to ensure optimal absorption of the medication.
Indications
- Terbinorm spray is indicated for the treatment of fungal infections of the skin, such as athlete’s foot, jock itch, and ringworm.

Pharmacological Effects: Terbinafine inhibits the enzyme squalene epoxidase, disrupting ergosterol synthesis in fungal cell membranes, leading to increased membrane permeability and fungal cell death.
Clinical Trials: Clinical trials have shown the efficacy and safety of terbinafine in treating fungal infections. A study in the British Journal of Dermatology demonstrated high cure rates and low recurrence rates in patients treated with terbinafine for fungal skin infections.
