Frequently asked questions
Can Terabet Solution be used for a long time?
No, Terabet Solution should not be used for prolonged periods. Treatment is generally prescribed for 2 consecutive weeks. However, for chronic (long-term) inflammatory conditions, the duration of treatment may be extended. It is crucial to consult your physician before using this medication.
Does Terabet Solution cause severe skin reactions?
Severe skin reactions are uncommon with Terabet Solution. Terabet Solution is an anti-inflammatory medication used for treating skin conditions, skin reactions, and eczema. However, it's possible for individuals who have hypersensitivity to Terabet Solution to experience a reaction. It is important to keep the affected area open after applying Terabet Solution, as using occlusive dressings (air- and water-tight dressings) may trigger skin reactions. In some cases, the medicine itself might not cause a reaction, but the added excipients with the medication could lead to a reaction in certain individuals. If you encounter any skin reactions, inform your doctor immediately.
Can Terabet Solution be used on the face?
No, Terabet Solution should not be applied to the face. Additionally, it is not recommended for use in armpits (axilla), groin, or areas with tissue atrophy at the treatment site. In certain circumstances, doctors may consider using it, only after consultation. It's important to limit its application on the face to a maximum of 5 days if possible.
Can Terabet Solution be applied to children?
Terabet Solution is not recommended for use in infants under 1 year old. It's also not recommended for use in older children and adolescents, as side effects are more common in these age groups. In the pediatric population, there's an increased risk of suppressed immune systems which can make the child vulnerable to other diseases and atrophy. Therefore, it's not advisable. However, in rare cases, a doctor may recommend this medication; yet, the treatment is usually limited to 5 days, and therapy is reviewed weekly.
Can we use Terabet Solution in infections?
Terabet Solution is not an antimicrobial or antifungal agent. It's a steroid medication. It should not be used for treating bacterial or fungal infections as it suppresses the immune system and increases the risk of worsening existing infections. Bacterial infections, specifically, are prone to worsen when treated with dressing after using Terabet Solution; if the inflammatory lesions become infected or there is any spread of infection, consult your doctor immediately. Your doctor will withdraw the use of Terabet Solution and provide appropriate antimicrobial therapy.
Can I stop taking Terabet Solution when my symptoms are relieved?
No, do not stop taking Terabet Solution and finish the full course of treatment even if you feel better. Your symptoms may improve before your treatment is complete. Stopping Terabet Solution before completing the course can lead to a recurrence of symptoms.
Does Terabet Solution cause dangerous skin reactions?
Local skin reactions are uncommon with Terabet Solution. Being an anti-inflammatory medication, it's used to treat skin conditions, skin reactions, and eczema. However, it's possible for individuals who have hypersensitivity to Terabet Solution to experience a reaction. It is important to keep the affected area open after applying Terabet Solution, as using occlusive dressings (air- and water-tight dressings) may trigger skin reactions. If not by the medicine itself, sometimes the reactions are also caused by the added excipients with the medication. If you encounter any skin reactions, inform your doctor immediately.
