Composition

Each gram of cream contains:

• Terbinafine Hydrochloride 1% w/w

It is intended for topical (external) use only.

Mechanism of Action

Terbinafine works by targeting fungal cell membranes:

• Inhibits the enzyme squalene epoxidase
• Disrupts the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes

This mechanism makes it highly effective against dermatophyte infections.
