This study examines the budgetary effect of using ciclopirox, itraconazole (pulse treatment), terbinafine, or itraconazole (continuous treatment) as first-, second-, or third-line therapy in the treatment of toenail onychomycosis by determining which therapeutic sequence is most cost effective. Using a disease treatment pathway model, alternative agents were compared based on cost per clinical ...

A simple, selective, precise and stability indicating high performance thin layer chromatographic method for analysis of Terbinafine, both as the bulk drug and in a tablet formulation has been developed and validated. In this, method pre coated silica gel 60F 254 aluminum foil TLC plates was used as stationary phase and chromatogram was developed using of n hexane: acetone: glacial acetic acid ...

The in vitro activities of 11 antifungal drugs against 68 Scopulariopsis and Microascus strains were investigated. Amphotericin B, 5-fluorocytosine, fluconazole, itraconazole, ketoconazole, miconazole, posaconazole, voriconazole, and ciclopirox showed no or poor antifungal effect. The best activities were exhibited by terbinafine and caspofungin, where the MIC and MEC (minimal effective concent...

The in vitro activities of nine antifungal drugs and their combinations against 31 clinical and 15 environmental Phialophora verrucosa strains were tested. The MIC90/90% minimum effective concentration (MIC/MEC90) values (μg/ml) across all strains were as follows: for terbinafine, 0.25; for posaconazole, 0.5; for voriconazole, 1; for itraconazole, 2; for amphotericin B, 4; for caspofungin and m...
