In section 4.5, the following has been added:

Fluconazole increased the Cmax and AUC of terbinafine by 52% and 69% respectively, due to inhibition of both CYP2C9 and CYP3A4 enzymes. Similar increase in exposure may occur when other drugs which inhibit both CYP2C9 and CYP3A4 such as ketoconazole and amiodarone are concomitantly administered with terbinafine.

 

There was no effect of terbinafine on the pharmacokinetics of fluconazole. Further there was no clinically relevant interaction between terbinafine and the potential comedications cotrimoxazole (trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole), zidovudine or theophylline.

In studies in healthy subjects characterized as extensive metabolisers of dextromethorphan (antitussive drug and CYP2D6 probe substrate), terbinafine increased the dextromethorphan/dextrorphan metabolic ratio in urine by 16- to 97-fold on average. Thus, terbinafine may convert extensive CYP2D6 metabolisers to poor metaboliser status.


In section 4.8, the following has been added:

Ear and labyrinth disorders: hypoacusis, impaired hearing, tinnitus.
Psychiatric disorders: anxiety and depressive symptoms secondary to taste disturbances.
Skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders: photosensitivity reactions (e.g. photodermatosis, photosensitivity allergic reaction and polymorphic light eruption).
