Itraconazole BP 1.0%:
Itraconazole is an antifungal agent that works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes. This leads to the disruption of fungal cell membrane integrity and cell death.
Terbinafine Hydrochloride IP 1.0%:
Terbinafine is an antifungal that inhibits the enzyme squalene epoxidase, which is essential for the synthesis of ergosterol in fungal cell membranes. This leads to the accumulation of squalene and the subsequent death of the fungal cells.
