Terbinafine: a pharmacological and clinical review.

Terbinafine (TRB) is an allylamine antifungal agent that has been available for more than a decade. It is now used for the treatment of dermatophytic infections and onychomycosis. Despite several studies having demonstrated the efficacy of terbinafine against nondermatophytic infections including azole-resistant candidiasis, invasive aspergillosis, disseminated fusariosis and scedosporiosis, the role of TRB in the management of these infections remains greatly underappreciated.
