Pharmacological action
Thermicon – antifungal drug, allylamine. It has a wide range of antifungal effects.
Active against dermatophytes: Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Trichophyton tonsurans, Trichophyton verrucosum, Trichophyton violaceum, Microsporum canis, Epidermophyton floccosum.
At low concentrations, it has a fungicidal effect on dermatophytes, molds (including Aspergillus, Cladosporium, Scopulariopsis brevicaulis) and some dimorphic fungi. On yeast fungi of the genus Candida (mainly Candida albicans) and their mycelial forms, depending on the species, the drug has a fungicidal or fungistatic effect.
Thermicon disrupts the early stage of biosynthesis of the main component of the cell membrane of the ergosterol fungus by inhibiting the squalene epoxidase enzyme. This leads to a deficiency of ergosterol and to intracellular accumulation of squalene, which causes the death of the fungal cell. The action of terbinafine is carried out by inhibiting the enzyme squalene epoxidase located on the cell membrane of the fungus.
Pharmacokinetics
When applied externally, the spray is absorbed less than 5% of the dose, so the systemic effect of the drug is minimal.
Indications
Prevention and treatment of fungal infections of the skin, including mycoses of the feet, inguinal epidermophytosis (tinea cruris), fungal lesions of smooth skin of the body (tinea corporis) caused by dermatophytes such as Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Trichophyton tonsurans, Trichophyton verrucosum, Trichophyton violaceum, and Microsporum fungus canis inflorescis canisum (Malassezia furfur).
Use during pregnancy and lactation
Thermicon should be used according to strict indications and if the intended benefits to the mother outweigh the potential risk to the fetus.
In experimental studies of teratogenic properties of terbinafine have not been identified. To date, no malformations have been reported with Thermicon.
Terbinafine is excreted in breast milk. However, if the Thermicon spray is used by the nursing mother, a small amount of the active substance is absorbed through the skin, so an adverse effect on the baby is unlikely.
