Background

Terbinafine hydrochloride (Lamisil) is a synthetic allylamine antifungal. It is highly lipophilic in nature and tends to accumulate in skin, nails, and fatty tissues. Like other allylamines, terbinafine inhibits ergosterol synthesis by inhibiting the fungal squalene monooxygenase (also called squalene epoxidase), an enzyme that is part of the fungal cell wall synthesis pathway.

Terbinafine hydrochloride was granted FDA approval on 30 December 1992.

Indication

Terbinafine hydrochloride is indicated to treat fungal skin and nail infections caused by Trichophyton species, Microsporum canis, Epidermophyton floccosum, and Tinea species. Terbinafine hydrochloride also treats yeast infections of the skin caused by Candida species and Malassezia furfur.
