Pharmacodynamics
The active ingredient Lamisil Dermgel terbinafine hydrochloride belongs to the group of allylamines. Terbinafine affects the development of dermatophytes, mold and dimorphic spore microorganisms. The oppressor acts on a number of yeast fungi. Lamisil Dermgel can act as a fungicide, and fungistatic substance - depending on the variety of yeast microorganisms.
Terbinafine disrupts the biological synthesis of fungal sterols, which causes a shortage of ergosterol and leads to the accumulation of squalene spore cells in the cellular structures due to the inhibition of the squalene epoxidase enzyme. Such changes lead to the death of the fungus. Lamizil Dermgelya does not affect the hormonal background of the human body.

Terbinafine hydrochloride Lamisil Dermgel in the case of external use is absorbed by five percent, so the absorption of constituents of the drug into the bloodstream is minimal.
