Frequently asked questions
Can Ter Z 250mg Tablet be safe for use in patients with liver cirrhosis?
Oral intake of Ter Z 250mg Tablet is not recommended in patients with chronic or active liver disease. Your doctor may prescribe a liver function test to assess liver function before starting the medication. This is because the medication is metabolized by liver enzymes, and inefficient liver function can lead to increased drug levels in the blood, potentially causing side effects and toxicity. Therefore, it's crucial to inform your doctor if you have any history of liver disease or cirrhosis. Also, ensure to disclose all medications you are currently taking as they may interact with Ter Z 250mg Tablet and increase the risk of liver toxicity.

Yes, sensitive individuals may experience skin reactions when using Ter Z 250mg Tablet. There have been rare reports of people developing severe skin/hypersensitivity reactions such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis with this medication. Therefore, it is essential to consult your doctor before starting treatment with Ter Z 250mg Tablet. If you experience any skin reactions or rashes, discontinue the medication immediately and report the symptoms to your doctor.
Is Ter Z 250mg Tablet effective?
Ter Z 250mg Tablet is an effective anti-fungal medication when used as prescribed by your healthcare provider.

How long do I need to take Ter Z 250mg Tablet?
The usual duration of treatment for Tinea pedis (fungal infection in the foot), Tinea corporis (ringworms), and Tinea cruris (fungal infection in the groin) is around 2 to 4 weeks. However, it may be extended up to 6 weeks depending on the severity and type of infection. For nail fungal infections, treatment duration can range from 6 to 12 weeks. The exact duration will be determined by your doctor based on the specific infection, its location, and how well you respond to the therapy.
Can I drink tea or coffee while taking Ter Z 250mg Tablet?
Consumption of caffeinated beverages like tea and coffee should be avoided while using Ter Z 250mg Tablet.
