If terbinafine and Itraconazole both are used to treat fungal infections, why did my doctor give me both of them as oral tablets?

Because when it comes to the management of fungal diseases "itraconazole and terbinafine combination therapy has a better cure rate when compared to terbinafine monotherapy".
The citation is from the paper: Efficacy of Terbinafine and Itraconazole Combination Therapy Versus Terbinafine or Itraconazole Monotherapy in the Management of Fungal Diseases: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
