The active ingredient in Zimig 250 mg Tablet is terbinafine. Terbinafine works by damaging the cell membranes of the fungi responsible for the infection, ultimately killing them.

Here is a detailed list of information about how terbinafine works:

• Terbinafine inhibits an enzyme called squalene epoxidase, which is essential for making ergosterol, a vital component of fungal cell membranes.
• By inhibiting squalene epoxidase, terbinafine disrupts the production of ergosterol, leading to accumulation of toxic substances inside the fungal cells.
• This disruption weakens the cell membranes and causes them to become leaky.
• As a result, essential nutrients leak out while toxic substances enter the cells, ultimately killing the fungi responsible for the infection.
