INSTRUCTION FOR THE SPECIALIST.

Description of the drug approved by the manufacturer for the printed edition of 2017.

PHARMACHOLOGIC EFFECT

Antifungal drug for external use, which has a wide range of antifungal activity.
In small concentrations, terbinafine has a fungicidal effect against dermatophytes (Trychophyton rubrum, Trychophyton mentagrophytes, Trychophyton verrucosum, Trychophyton violaceum, Trychophyton tonsurans, Microsporum canis, Epidermophyton floccosum), moldy (mainly Candida albicans) and some dimorphic fungi (Pityrosporum orbiculare). Activity with respect to yeast fungi, depending on their type, may be fungicidal or fungistatic.
Terbinafine specifically changes the early stage of biosynthesis of sterols occurring in fungi.
This leads to a deficit of ergosterol and to intracellular accumulation of squalene, which causes death of the fungal cell. The action of terbinafine is carried out by inhibiting the enzyme squalene epoxidase located on the cell membrane of the fungus.
Squalene epoxidase is not associated with the cytochrome P450 system.
Terbinafine does not affect the metabolism of hormones or other medications.
PHARMACOKINETICS

After applying the drug Lamizil В® Uno to the skin, the solution forms a transparent imperceptible film that remains on the skin for 72 hours. From the film, terbinafine rapidly penetrates the stratum corneum: 60 minutes after the procedure, 16-18% of the applied dose is found in the stratum corneum.
The release of terbinafine is progressive, the active substance is present in the stratum corneum after 13 days at a concentration in excess of the minimum inhibitory concentration of terbinafine in vitro with respect to dermatophytes.
Systemic bioavailability is extremely low.
With external application, the absorption of the drug is less than 5%. Lamisil В® Uno has an insignificant systemic effect.
The level of relapses after 3 months of use of the drug is low (not higher than 12.5%).

Use a sufficient amount of the drug to cover the necessary surface of the skin, usually 1/2 tubes for processing each foot.
