Medicine Description fungiban-gel 1%
Fungiban gel is a medication that contains terbinafine, an antifungal agent that works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, a critical component of fungal cell membranes. By disrupting the formation of ergosterol, terbinafine compromises the integrity of the fungal cell membrane, leading to cell death. This action effectively eliminates the fungi responsible for the infection, allowing the skin to heal and return to its normal state.
