Introduction
In general, Terbinafine Hydrochloride Tablets can be used to treat onychomycosis (gray nail). Terbinafine Hydrochloride is a broad-spectrum antifungal medication that works by inhibiting the synthesis of the fungal cell membrane, thereby exerting a fungicidal effect. It can be used to treat dermatophytosis caused by fungal infections, such as onychomycosis. During the treatment of onychomycosis, personal hygiene should be maintained.
Generally speaking, Terbinafine Hydrochloride Tablets can treat onychomycosis (gray nail). The detailed analysis is as follows:
Terbinafine Hydrochloride is a broad-spectrum antifungal medication that inhibits the synthesis of the fungal cell membrane, thereby exerting a fungicidal effect. It can be used to treat dermatophytosis such as onychomycosis caused by fungal infections.
Terbinafine Hydrochloride mainly works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol or squalene epoxidase in the fungal cell membrane, thereby preventing the normal synthesis and reconstruction of the fungal cell membrane, which results in killing or inhibiting fungal growth. Moreover, Terbinafine Hydrochloride also has good permeability; it can rapidly penetrate into the infected nail tissue and directly act on the fungi, thereby effectively exerting its antifungal effect.
It should be noted that this medication may cause some side effects, such as gastrointestinal discomfort, headache, rash, and other symptoms. If severe discomfort occurs, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly. Additionally, during the treatment of onychomycosis, personal hygiene should also be emphasized. Keep the nails clean and dry, and avoid sharing nail clippers, slippers, or other personal items with others to prevent cross-infection.
