Lamizil tablets Pharmacological properties
Pharmacodynamics

Terbinafine is an allylamine that has a broad spectrum of antifungal activity against skin, hair and nail infections caused by dermatophytes such as Trichophyton (eg T. rubrum, T. mentagrophytes, T. verrucosum, T. tonsurans, T. violaceum), Microsporum (eg Microsporum canis), Epidermophyton floccosum and yeast fungi of the genus Candida (eg Candida albicans) and Pityrosporum. At low concentrations, terbinafine has a fungicidal effect against dermatophytes, molds and some dimorphic fungi. The activity against yeast fungi can be fungicidal or fungistatic, depending on their species.

Terbinafine specifically promotes the early stage of sterol biosynthesis in the fungal cell. The action of terbinafine is carried out by inhibiting the enzyme squalene epoxidase in the cell membrane of the fungus. This leads to ergosterol deficiency and intracellular accumulation of squalene, which causes fungal cell death. This enzyme does not belong to the cytochrome P450 system.

When used orally, the drug accumulates in the skin in concentrations that provide a fungicidal effect of the drug.

Indication
Fungal infections of the skin and nails caused by Trichophyton (eg T. rubrum, T. mentagrophytes, T. verrucosum, T. violaceum), Microsporum canis and Epidermophyton floccosum:

Ringworm (trichophytia of smooth skin, trichophytia of the perineum and dermatophytia of the feet), when the location of the lesion, the severity or prevalence of the infection determine the appropriateness of oral therapy.
Onychomycosis.
Contraindication
Acute or chronic liver disease.

Hypersensitivity to terbinafine or to any of the excipients.
