Patient summary
Terbinafine 250mg tablets, used for tinea pedis, tinea cruris, tinea corporis and onychomycosis. An allylamine that blocks squalene epoxidase.
Mechanism of action
Terbinafine inhibits the enzyme squalene epoxidase in the fungal cell wall. This action prevents the synthesis of ergosterol, a vital component of the fungal cell membrane, resulting in an accumulation of squalene, which causes cell death in the fungus.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Pregnancy: Use only if clearly necessary. Breastfeeding: Should be avoided as terbinafine is excreted in breast milk.
