Instructions for use TERBISIL®

Terbizil® cream is for external use only. It should not be applied to the mucous membrane of the eyes. If the cream gets into your eyes, rinse them with plenty of water and, if necessary, consult an ophthalmologist.

Terbizil® cream 10 mg/g is not recommended for the treatment of hyperkeratotic, chronic, plantar (moccasin type) dermatophytosis of the feet.

If an allergic reaction occurs, wash off the cream and stop treatment.

The cream contains cetostearyl alcohol and cetyl alcohol, which may cause local skin reactions (eg contact dermatitis).

Impact on the ability to drive vehicles and operate machinery

Terbizil® in the form of a cream does not affect the ability to drive vehicles or operate complex machinery.

Experimental results

In long-term studies (up to 1 year) in rats and dogs, no significant toxic effects were observed in any animal species when terbinafine was administered orally at a dose of about 10 mg/kg/day. When administered orally in high doses, possible target organs include the liver and kidneys.

In a two-year carcinogenicity study in mice, no neoplasms or other pathological changes associated with the drug were found at doses up to 130 mg/kg/day (males) and 156 mg/kg/day (females). In a 2-year oral carcinogenicity study in rats, an increase in the incidence of liver tumors was observed in males at the highest dose of 69 mg/kg/day. At this dose, systemic exposure is similar to that observed in clinical settings. The mechanism of tumor development and its clinical significance are unknown. Changes possibly related to peroxisome proliferation appeared to be species specific because they were not detected in carcinogenicity studies in mice, dogs, or monkeys.

In studies in monkeys using high doses, refractive inhomogeneities were found in the retina (non-toxic level 50 mg/kg). These irregularities were associated with the presence of a terbinafine metabolite in the eyeball tissue and disappeared after discontinuation of the drug. There were no changes at the histological level.

Using a standard battery of in vitro and in vivo genotoxic tests, there was no evidence of mutagenic or clastogenic potential.

Description

Antifungal agent.

Use in children

With caution: children's age (due to lack of sufficient clinical experience).

Pharmacodynamics

An antifungal drug for external use with a wide spectrum of antifungal activity. In small concentrations, terbinfine has a fungicidal effect on dermatophytes (Trychophyton Rubrum, Trichophyton Mentagrophytes, Trichophyton Verrucosum, Trichophyton Violaceum, Trichophyton Tonsuras, Micross Porum Canis, Epidermophyton Floccosum), mold (for example, Scopulariopsis Breviculis) and certain dimorphous mushrooms (Pityrosporum Orbiculare). Activity against yeast fungi, mainly Candida albicans, depending on their type, can be fungicidal or fungistatic.

Terbinafine specifically alters the early stage of sterol biosynthesis occurring in fungi. This leads to ergosterol deficiency and intracellular accumulation of squalene, which causes the death of the fungal cell. Terbinafine acts by inhibiting the enzyme squalene epoxidase located on the cell membrane of the fungus.

Terbinafine does not affect the isoenzymes of the cytochrome P450 system in humans and, accordingly, the metabolism of hormones or other drugs.

Side effects

Local reactions: redness, itching or a burning sensation may appear at the sites where the cream is applied. Allergic reactions may occur.

If any of these adverse reactions worsen, or the patient notices any other adverse reactions, he should inform the attending physician.

Use during pregnancy and breastfeeding

In experimental studies on animals, teratogenic properties of terbinafine were not identified. To date, no malformations have been reported with the use of Terbizil® cream.

The use of Terbizil® cream during pregnancy is possible if the potential benefit to the mother outweighs the possible risk to the fetus/child.

Terbinafine passes into breast milk in very small quantities.

The cream should not be applied to the mammary glands during breastfeeding.

Interaction

When used externally, terbinafine has not been reported to interact with other drugs.

Overdose

Symptoms: no cases of overdose of Terbizil® cream have been reported. If the drug is accidentally taken orally (despite the dosage form), the following symptoms are possible: headache, nausea, abdominal pain, dizziness.

Treatment: activated carbon, if necessary - symptomatic and supportive therapy.

Impact on the ability to drive vehicles and operate machinery

Terbizil® cream does not affect the ability to drive vehicles and other technical devices that require increased concentration and speed of psychomotor reactions.

Pharmacological properties of the drug Terbizil cream

Terbinafine ((E)-N-(6,6-dimethyl-2-hepten-4-inyl)-N-methyl-1-naphthalenemethylamine hydrochloride) is a broad-spectrum allylamine antifungal drug. Suppresses the biosynthesis of fungal membrane sterols by inhibiting the enzyme squalene epoxidase, which leads to intracellular accumulation of squalene and death of the fungal cell. Terbinafine, even in low concentrations, has a fungicidal effect against dermatophytes, dimorphic and some molds. The effect on yeast fungi (for example, the genus Candida ) can be fungicidal or fungistatic depending on the strain of the fungus. When applied topically, ≤5% of terbinafine is absorbed, so its systemic effect is negligible.

Use in children There are no data on the use of Terbizil tablets in children under 2 years of age (usually weighing less than 12 kg), therefore the use of Terbizil tablets in children under 2 years of age is not recommended. Unless the doctor prescribes a different dose, the standard dose for children over 2 years of age is: Children weighing less than 20 kg (usually under 5 years): since there is insufficient experience with this category of patients, use is possible only in cases where there is no other therapeutic alternative, and the benefits of using the drug outweigh the possible risks. For body weight from 20 to 40 kg (from 5 to 12 years): 1/2 tablet of Terbizil (125 mg) once a day. For body weight over 40 kg (usually over 12 years): 1 tablet of Terbizil (250 mg) once a day. Terbizil tablets can be divided into equal doses. Elderly patients (65 years and older) The dose of Terbizil for people aged 65 years and older is the same as for younger adult patients. If you take more than the prescribed amount If you take more Terbizil tablets than prescribed, contact your doctor immediately. In case of overdose, seek medical attention at your nearest hospital emergency room. Take your medication package with you. The same should be done if someone else besides you accidentally took your pills. Symptoms of overdose: headache, nausea, stomach pain and dizziness. If you forget to take it It is most practical to take the tablet at the same time every day. If you forget to take a pill and there are more than 4 hours left before taking the next pill, you can take the missed pill. If you have less than 4 hours until your next tablet is taken, take the next tablet at your usual time. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed tablet! If you stop taking it, it is recommended to take the drug for the entire treatment period prescribed by your doctor. Premature cessation of treatment may lead to relapse of the disease. If you have any further questions about using this drug, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
