Indications
Terbinafine tablet: This tablet is used to treat dermatophytes-caused onychomycosis of the toenail or fingernail (tinea unguium).
Tinea Capitis: Terbinafine granules are suggested.
Trichophyton (e.g. T. rubrum, T. mentagrophytes, T. verrucosum, T. violaceum), Microsporum canis, and Epidermophyton floccosum cause fungal infections of the skin. Yeast infections of the skin, mostly caused by the Candida genus (e.g. C. albicans). Due to Pityrosporum orbiculare, pityriasis (tinea) versicolor develops (also known as Malassezia furfur).
Pharmacology
Terbinafine, an antifungal Allylamine, inhibits the formation of Ergosterol (an important component of fungi cell membranes) by inhibiting the Squalene Epoxidase enzyme. This causes fungal cell death mostly due to increased membrane permeability caused by high levels of Squalene buildup, rather than Ergosterol insufficiency. Terbinafine hydrochloride may be fungicidal depending on the medication concentration and the fungus species tested in vitro. The clinical value of in vitro data, on the other hand, remains unknown. Terbinafine has been proven to be effective in vitro and in clinical infections against the majority of strains of the following microorganisms: Tricophyton Menta Tricophyton Menta Tricophyton Menta.
Dosage & Administration
Terbinafine tablet:
For the treatment of finger nail onychomycosis: Terbinafine 250 mg (one tablet), once daily for 6 weeks.
For the treatment of toenail onychomycosis: Terbinafine 250 mg (one tablet), once daily for 12 weeks.
The optimal clinical effect is seen some months after mycological cure and cessation of treatment. This is related to the period required for outgrowth of healthy nail.
Terbinafine granules:
Body Weight: <25 kg: 125 mg/day up to 6 weeks
Body Weight: 25-35 kg: 187.5 mg/day up to 6 weeks

Tinea corporis, cruris: 1 to 2 weeks
Tinea pedis: 1 week
Cutaneous candidiasis: 2 weeks
Pityriasis versicolor: 2 weeks
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
Terbinafine inhibits the CYP450 2D6 isozyme in vivo, according to research. Tricyclic antidepressants, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, beta-blockers, antiarrhythmics class 1C (e.g., flecainide and propafenone), and monoamine oxidase inhibitors Type B are among the drugs processed mostly by the CYP450 2D6 isozyme. Co-administration of terbinafine should be done 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.
Side Effects
Gastrointestinal symptoms (including diarrhea, dyspepsia, and stomach discomfort), liver test abnormalities, rashes, urticaria, itching, and taste alterations are among the side effects recorded.

Pregnancy & Lactation
Terbinafine tablet: In pregnant women, there are no sufficient and well-controlled trials. Terbinafine should not be started during pregnancy since animal reproduction studies are not necessarily predictive of human response, and onychomycosis treatment can be postponed until after the pregnancy has finished. Terbinafine is found in the breast milk of nursing women after oral dosing. Terbinafine is not advised for use in breastfeeding mothers.ropose no unfavorable impacts. There's no clinical encounter with terbinafine in pregnant ladies; in this manner, unless the potential benefits exceed any potential hazard, terbinafine ought to not be managed. Terbinafine is excreted in the breast drain and thus moms ought to not get terbinafine treatment while breastfeeding.
Terbinafine cream: Animal toxicology and fertility tests show no negative effects on the fetus. 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.
