The active ingredient in Dexoderm Tablet is terbinafine (250 mg). It works in the body as follows:

• Inhibits Squalene Epoxidase: Terbinafine works by blocking an enzyme called squalene epoxidase in your body. This enzyme plays a key role in forming ergosterol inside fungal cells.

• Disrupts Fungal Cell Membrane: By blocking the activity of squalene epoxidase, terbinafine effectively disrupts the production of ergosterol, which is a key component of the fungal cell membrane. When this production is compromised, it leads to damage in the fungal cell and ultimately, its death. This action helps resolve the fungal infection.
