These antifungal preparations contain the active ingredient, Terbinafine which is a broad-spectrum antifungal and is effective against skin infections caused by fungus, yeasts, and moulds such as ringworm, hot spots, and Schnauzer bumps.
It is more effective than other topical antifungals (eg. Clotrimazole and Oxiconazole) because it kills fungus-causing skin infections (fungicidal) and does not just inhibit the growth of fungus (fungistatic). It has a shorter duration of treatment in comparison to other topical antifungals.
It is considered to act through the inhibition of fungal sterol synthesis. It works by preventing the formation of substances needed by the fungus to grow and develop, which causes weakness and death of the fungus.
Fungi grow rapidly, especially in hot and moist weather. Fungal infections affecting pets are most commonly found on the skin, coat, and nails. In dogs, about 70% of cases are caused byMicrosporum canis, 20% byMicrosporum gypseum, and 10% byTrichophyton mentagropphytes; in cats, 98% of cases are caused byMicrosporum canis.
Both gel and lotion contain waterproof agents and this antifungal gel does not contain water. Moisture is a risk factor and can promote the growth of fungus. The waterproof agent provides water resistance and protects the infected areas.
Penetration enhancers help to promote better absorption and increase the bioavailability of the active drug. Enhanced penetration ensures that the active drug reaches deeper into infected areas and also ensures a higher retention rate of the drug.
It also contains ingredients that help to soothe dry flaky skin and promote faster healing
