CONARIS T100

Fungal infections of the skin, nails, and hair are increasingly common due to factors such as humidity, lifestyle changes, weakened immunity, and prolonged use of antibiotics or steroids. Conditions like ringworm, athlete’s foot, jock itch, nail fungus, and chronic dermatophytosis can significantly affect quality of life if not treated effectively.

CONARIS T100 is a powerful antifungal medication formulated with a combination of Terbinafine and Itraconazole, two well-established antifungal agents. This combination offers broad-spectrum antifungal coverage, making it highly effective against stubborn and recurrent fungal infections. CONARIS T100 is widely prescribed by healthcare professionals for comprehensive and long-lasting fungal infection management.

Composition

Each tablet of CONARIS T100 contains:

• Terbinafine – Antifungal agent

• Itraconazole – Triazole antifungal agent

This synergistic combination enhances antifungal efficacy and reduces the chances of treatment failure or recurrence.

Therapeutic Class

• Class: Antifungal Combination Therapy

• Indication: Dermatological and systemic fungal infections

• Dosage Form: Oral tablet

Mechanism of Action

How Terbinafine Works

Terbinafine inhibits the enzyme squalene epoxidase, which is essential for fungal cell membrane synthesis. This leads to:

• Accumulation of toxic squalene within fungal cells

• Disruption of fungal cell membrane integrity

• Rapid fungal cell death (fungicidal action)

Terbinafine is particularly effective against dermatophytes responsible for skin and nail infections.

How Itraconazole Works

Itraconazole belongs to the azole class of antifungals. It works by:

• Inhibiting fungal cytochrome P450 enzymes

• Blocking ergosterol synthesis, a vital component of fungal cell membranes

• Preventing fungal growth and replication (fungistatic and fungicidal effects)

Itraconazole is effective against a wide range of yeasts, molds, and dermatophytes.
