Terbinafine is an antifungal medication that works by preventing the growth of fungi. It does this by interfering with the formation of the fungal cell membrane, causing it to become leaky and eventually die. When taken orally, terbinafine is absorbed into the bloodstream and distributed throughout the body, reaching high concentrations in the skin, nails, and hair where fungal infections often occur. The medication is then slowly eliminated from the body through the liver and kidneys. While generally safe and effective, terbinafine can sometimes cause side effects such as gastrointestinal problems, headaches, and skin rashes.
