Intermittent Terbinafine for Toenail Fungus Treatment
Terbinafine (Lamisil ®) and itraconazole (Sporanox ®) are drugs in the oral history for the treatment of fungal nail. These drugs are expensive and the treatment regimen usually includes three months of treatment. Itraconazole has proven effective with a pulse dosing regimen, which means that the medication is taken daily for a week and not taken for three weeks, repeating the pulse on three occasions. This scheme reduces the cost of the drug, compared with a daily dose of 12 weeks. Terbinifine traditionally been established as a continuous dose, the treatment regimen is 250 mg daily for 12 weeks. In a recent study, the authors compared the results of trials of intermittent and continuous terbinafine and intermittent itraconazole. The three schemes treatment were as follows. intermittent terbinafine 250 mg / day for 4 weeks followed by 4 weeks of terbinafine and not after 4 weeks of terbinafine 250 mg / day. Itraconazole pulse: the pulse of 200 mg twice daily for 7 days, 21 days off, 7 days, 21 days off, 7 days (a total of three pulses). Terbinafine Continuous: 250 mg / day for 12 weeks.
Participants were followed for 72 weeks, mycological cure rates found that 83% for the pulse terbinafine group, 78% cure rate for continuous terbinafine group and 56% for the itraconazole pulse. Adverse events were minimal and did not require discontinuation of drug regimen. Adverse events did not differ significantly from one group to another. The authors concluded that the regime of intermittent terbinafine was as safe and effective as the regiment of continuous terbinafine and both were more effective than itraconazole therapy. (J Eur Acad Dermatol Venereol. 2009 Mar; 23 (3) :256-62).
