About Atmotuit 500mg Capsule

Atmotuit 500mg Capsule belongs to a class of drugs called antifungals. Tablets are used to treat fungal infections of toenails and fingernails.

Tinea capitis is a fungal infection of the scalp that is contagious and causes bald, itchy, and scaly patches of the ring shape.

Atmotuit 500mg Capsule contains Terbinafine, an antifungal that works by damaging the fungal cell membranes that are essential for their survival as they prevent the entry of unwanted substances into the cells and stop the leakage of cell contents.
