Skinabin Tablet 250 mg contains Terbinafine Hydrochloride, an oral antifungal agent used for the treatment of systemic and severe fungal infections or infections that do not respond adequately to topical therapy. It is highly effective against dermatophytes, yeasts, and some molds, providing comprehensive management of onychomycosis (fungal nail infections), tinea capitis, and extensive skin infections.

Oral administration ensures that the medication reaches the site of infection through the bloodstream, making it particularly suitable for nail and scalp fungal infections, which are difficult to treat with creams alone. Skinabin Tablet offers a convenient once-daily dose to improve patient compliance.

Composition

• Terbinafine Hydrochloride 250 mg per tablet

Mechanism of Action

• Terbinafine is an allylamine antifungal that targets the fungal enzyme squalene epoxidase.
• Inhibition of this enzyme causes toxic accumulation of squalene in fungal cells.
• Blocks the production of ergosterol, a key component of the fungal cell membrane.
• This dual effect kills the fungus and prevents its growth, allowing infected tissues to recover.
