How Terbimax 1% Lotion Works

Terbinafine is an antifungal medicine that kills fungus instead of only stopping its growth. It blocks an important enzyme needed by fungi to make their protective cell membrane. Without this membrane, the fungus cannot survive and gradually dies. As the fungal infection clears, itching, redness, and skin irritation also reduce, allowing healthy skin to grow back.
