Lamisil Dermgel (Terbinafine)

Terbinafine blocks the fungal enzyme squalene epoxidase, which is essential for producing ergosterol, a key component of the fungal cell membrane. Inhibiting this step leads to toxic buildup of squalene and loss of membrane integrity, ultimately killing the fungus.

The prescribed dose is determined by a healthcare professional. Typically, a thin layer of the gel is applied to the affected area once daily for the duration recommended by the prescriber, which varies according to the infection type and severity.

Safety data for topical terbinafine in pregnancy and lactation are limited. Women who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding should discuss potential risks and benefits with their healthcare provider before using the product.

Compared with azole antifungals such as clotrimazole, terbinafine has a different mechanism of action and often requires a shorter treatment course for dermatophyte infections. It is generally well‑tolerated, but choice of therapy should be guided by the specific pathogen, infection site and patient factors.

Store the gel at ambient temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep it in the original container with the cap tightly closed. Do not freeze the product, and keep it out of reach of children.

Clean and dry the affected skin area before use. Apply a thin, even layer of the gel to the lesion and gently rub it in. Wash hands after application unless the hands are the treatment site. Follow the prescriber’s instructions regarding frequency and duration.

The most serious risks include severe allergic reactions such as angioedema or anaphylaxis, extensive contact dermatitis, and, rarely, systemic effects like liver enzyme elevation if large amounts are absorbed. Immediate medical attention is required if any of these symptoms develop.

Individuals with a known hypersensitivity to terbinafine or any component of the gel should avoid its use. It is also contraindicated on large areas of broken or severely inflamed skin without medical supervision, and caution is advised for patients with pre‑existing liver disease.
