Fungoterbin Neo, gel 15 g

Terbinafine, the active ingredient of Fungoterbine®, is an allylamine and has a broad spectrum of antifungal action.

It is active against such dermatophytes as Trichophyton (T. rubrum, T. mentagrophytes, T. tonsurans, T. verrucosum, T. violaceum), Microsporum canis, Epidermophyton floccosum. In low concentrations it has

fungicidal action against dermatophytes, mold fungi (Aspergillus, Cladosporium, Scopulariopsis brevicaulis, etc.) and some dimorphic fungi.

The action on yeast fungi of the genus Candida and its mycelial forms may be fungicidal or fungistatic, depending on the type of fungus.

Terbinafine is also active against Pityrosporum – the causative agent of Pityriasis versicolor, caused by Pityrosporum ovale.

Terbinafine disrupts ergosterol biosynthesis in fungi at early stages. This leads to ergosterol deficiency and intracellular accumulation of squalene, which causes cell death of the fungus.

The action of terbinafine is carried out by inhibiting the enzyme squalene epoxidase located on the cell membrane of the fungus.

This enzyme is not part of the cytochrome P450 system. Terbinafine has no effect on the metabolism of hormones or other drugs.

The presence of urea in the cream and spray has a moisturizing effect and promotes deeper penetration of terbinafine into the skin, thus creating high concentrations.

In additionally for the spray: the urea (urea) contained in the spray has a keratolytic (softening and causing rejection of the stratum corneum of the epidermis affected by the fungal infection).

Carbamide promotes rapid regeneration of the epidermis. Butylhydroxytoluene is an antioxidant and stimulates regeneration processes. When used topically it inhibits free radical reactions.
