- Terbinafine is a synthetic allylamine, which has a broad spectrum antifungal activity. At low concentration Terbinafine is fungicidal against dermatophytes, mould and certain dimorphic fungi. The activity against yeasts is fungicidal or fungistatic, depending on the species.
- Terbinafine interferes specifically with fungal sterol biosynthesis at early step.This leads to a deficiency in ergosterol and to an intracellular accumulation of squalene, resulting in fungalcell death.
- Terbinafine acts by inhibition of squalene epoxidase in the fungal cell membrane . The enzyme squalene epoxidase is not linked to the cytochrome P450 system ,Terbinafine dose not influence the metabolism of hormones or other drugs. When given orally the drug concentrates in skin, hair and nails at levels associated with fungicidal activity.
- When given topically, the drug has a rapid onset of action and can be effective with short treatment duration .

- If the treatment is topical, the small amount of Terbinafine absorbed by the skin is unlikely to cause damage for the fetus and the infant.
- Redness, itching or stinging occasionally occur at the site of application for this reason these harmless reaction must be distinguished from allergic reactions which are rare but require discontinuation.
