Terbinafine (500mg)
Active composition
Terbinafine inhibits squalene epoxidase, disrupting ergosterol synthesis in fungal cell membranes.
Medical applications
Ifin 500 Tablet contains Terbinafine 500 mg, an antifungal agent indicated for the treatment of various fungal infections. Terbinafine belongs to the allylamine class and acts by inhibiting the enzyme squalene epoxidase, which is essential for ergosterol synthesis in fungal cell membranes. This disruption leads to increased fungal cell membrane permeability and ultimately fungal cell death. Ifin 500 is primarily prescribed for dermatophytosis, including tinea corporis, tinea cruris, and tinea pedis, as well as onychomycosis caused by dermatophytes. The tablet is administered orally, allowing systemic distribution to effectively eradicate fungal pathogens in skin, hair, and nails. The usual dosage and duration depend on the type and severity of infection, and treatment should be continued as prescribed to prevent relapse. Common adverse effects may include gastrointestinal disturbances, headache, and rash, though serious side effects are rare. Caution is advised in patients with hepatic impairment, and liver function tests should be monitored during prolonged therapy. Ifin 500 Tablet should not be used in individuals with known hypersensitivity to terbinafine or other allylamines. Consultation with a healthcare professional is essential before initiating therapy to ensure appropriate use and to minimize potential drug interactions.
