Lamisil, Terbinafine is an antifungal medication widely used to treat fungal infections of the skin, hair, and nails, including athlete's foot, jock itch, and ringworm. It works by inhibiting the enzyme squalene epoxidase, which is crucial for the synthesis of ergosterol, a key component of fungal cell membranes. By disrupting this process, terbinafine causes fungal cell death and helps to clear infections.

Mechanism of Action
Terbinafine targets and inhibits squalene epoxidase, leading to a deficiency in ergosterol and causing fungal cell membrane damage and cell death. This specific action makes terbinafine highly effective against a wide range of fungal pathogens.

Common Uses
Athlete's Foot (Tinea Pedis)
Jock Itch (Tinea Cruris)
Ringworm (Tinea Corporis)
Nail Fungus (Onychomycosis)

Dosage Instructions
The dosage of terbinafine depends on the type and location of the fungal infection. For skin infections, the typical oral dose for adults is 250 mg once daily for 2 to 6 weeks. For nail fungus, the treatment might extend to 6 to 12 weeks. Topical formulations (cream, gel) are applied once or twice daily to the affected area. Always follow your healthcare provider's instructions regarding dosage and duration.

Benefits
Effectively treats a variety of fungal infections.
Oral and topical forms provide flexible treatment options.
Has a relatively low risk of side effects compared to some other antifungal medications.

Potential Side Effects
While terbinafine is generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience side effects, including:

Gastrointestinal disturbances (nausea, diarrhea).
Headaches.
Skin rashes.
Taste disturbances (with oral form).
Rarely, liver problems.
