The drug "Terbizil." Instructions

The terbizil instruction refers to antifungal preparations. The active component of the agent is terbinafine, an allylamine derivative.

Therapeutic concentrations have fungicidal action against yeast-like fungi, dermatophytes and individual dimorphic fungi. Terbinafine is able to suppress in the early stages of biosynthesis in the sterol fungus cell by inhibiting (inhibiting) the squalene epoxidase enzyme in the membrane of the fungal cell. This provokes an increase in the concentration of squalene inside the cell and the appearance of a lack of ergosterol, which leads to the death of the fungal cell.

Terbinafine has no effect on the metabolism of hormones and other drugs.

Obligatory washing of the stomach is mandatory, then the reception of activated carbon. If necessary, therapy is prescribed depending on the symptoms.

Often, when signs of fungus appear on the legs, people do not rush to address specialists, prescribing drugs themselves. However, this behavior is not always correct.
