Terbinafine is an allylamine which has a broad spectrum of antifungal activity. Terbinafine acts by inhibition of squalene epoxidase in the fungal cell membrane. At low concentrations terbinafine is fungicidal against dermatophytes, moulds and certain dimorphic fungi. The activity versus yeasts is fungicidal or fungistatic depending on the species. |
