Indications
T-cure cream is an allylamine antifungal indicated for the treatment of interdigital tinea pedis, tinea cruris, and tinea corporis caused by the organism Trichophyton Rubrum.
Pharmacology
The exact mechanism of action against fungi is not known, Naftifine Hydrochloride appears to interfere with sterol biosynthesis by inhibiting the enzyme squalene 2, 3-epoxidase. This inhibition of enzyme activity results in decreased amounts of sterols, especially ergosterol and a corresponding accumulation of squalene in the cells.
