Pharmacology
cream - antifungal drug for local use. Terbinafine active substance Thermicon, is an allylamine and has a broad spectrum of antifungal action. Terbinafine has a fungicidal effect against dermatophytes, molds and some dimorphic fungi. Activity against yeast fungi, depending on their species, can be fungicidal or fungistatic.
Terbinafine disrupts the early stages of ergosterol biosynthesis in fungi. This leads to a deficiency of ergosterol and intracellular accumulation of squalene, which causes the death of the fungal cell. The action of terbinafine is carried out by inhibiting the enzyme squalene epoxidase, located on the cell membrane of the fungus. This enzyme does not belong to the cytochrome P450 system. Terbinafine does not affect the metabolism of hormones or other drugs. As a result, the early stage of sterol biosynthesis is disturbed.
Terbinafine does not affect the metabolism of hormones or other drugs.
