How it works

From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (Terbinafine). It describes the substance, not this exact product.

Terbinafine is an allylamine antifungal [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.4 ) ].

The shape is a standard model drawn from the two times above, not a measurement. How fast a medicine acts and wears off also depends on the dose, the form and the person.
How the body breaks it down

Prior to excretion, terbinafine is extensively metabolized by at least seven CYP isoenzymes with major contributions from CYP2C9, CYP1A2, CYP3A4, CYP2C8, and CYP2C19.

How it leaves the body

Approximately 70% of the administered dose is eliminated in the urine.

With food

An increase in the AUC of terbinafine of less than 20% is observed when terbinafine tablets are administered with food.
