DESCRIPTION

Terbitec Cream (Terbinafine  Cream 1% ) is an antifungal medicine. It is used to treat fungal skin infections like athlete's foot (itchy, scaly, and white patches between the toes), jock itch (red, itchy, and ring-shaped rashes in the groin, the area where the upper thigh meets the lowest part of the stomach), ringworm (red, itchy, and circular-shaped rashes with clear skin in the middle affecting the skin, scalp, or nails), etc. This medicine works by killing the fungi by damaging its cell membrane (protective covering) and making it weaker.

MECHANISM OF ACTION

Terbitec Cream (Terbinafine  Cream 1% ) is an antifungal agent that works primarily by inhibiting the enzyme squalene epoxidase, which is crucial for the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes. By disrupting ergosterol production, terbinafine compromises the integrity of the fungal cell membrane, leading to cell lysis and death. This action is effective against a wide range of dermatophytes, as well as some yeasts, making it particularly useful for treating various superficial fungal infections such as athlete's foot, ringworm, and jock itch.
