Medicine Description terbin-topical 1%
Terbin Topical 30ml Spray is a medication that contains terbinafine as its active ingredient, which acts as an allylamine antifungal agent. It works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, a vital component of fungal cell membranes. By blocking the enzyme squalene epoxidase, terbinafine disrupts the normal cell membrane formation, leading to the accumulation of toxic squalene within the fungal cells and ultimately causing cell death. This mechanism effectively halts the growth of dermatophytes and other fungi, alleviating symptoms associated with fungal infections such as itching and scaling.
