Elvina Tablet 250 mg contains Terbinafine Hydrochloride. It is a highly effective antifungal agent used to treat infections of the skin, hair, and nails caused by dermatophytes and certain other fungi. Unlike topical treatments, this oral formulation works systemically, making it suitable for moderate to severe or persistent infections.

It is widely used when topical antifungal therapies fail or when the infection is extensive.

Composition
