Frequently asked questions
Can Terbact Tablet be safe for use in patients with liver cirrhosis?
Oral intake of Terbact Tablet is not recommended in patients with chronic or active liver disease. A liver function test should be performed to assess the effectiveness of the liver before starting treatment. This is because the medication is metabolized by liver enzymes, and any inefficiency in liver function can lead to increased levels of the medication in the blood, resulting in increased side effects and toxicity. Therefore, it is important to inform your doctor if you have any liver disease or cirrhosis. Additionally, informing your doctor about any other medications you are taking is crucial as this may increase the risk of liver toxicity. Your doctor may recommend periodic monitoring (after 4-6 weeks of treatment) of liver function tests and make dose adjustments accordingly.
Does Terbact Tablet cause any skin reactions?
Some individuals may experience skin reactions while using Terbact Tablet. There are rare reports of people developing severe skin reactions, such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, and other serious allergic reactions with Terbact Tablet. Therefore, it is essential to discuss the medication with your physician before starting treatment. If you notice any skin reactions or rashes, stop taking this medication immediately and contact your doctor.
Is Terbact Tablet effective?
Terbact Tablet exhibits effectiveness as an antifungal medication when used according to the prescribed dosage and duration provided by your physician. Do not discontinue the medication even if you experience improvement in your condition, as stopping early may allow the fungus to persist and potentially lead to a relapse or worsening of the infection.
How long do I need to take Terbact Tablet?
The usual duration of treatment for Tinea pedis (fungal infection of the foot), Tinea corporis (ringworms), and Tinea cruris (fungal infection of the groin) is approximately 2 to 4 weeks. However, treatment duration may extend up to 6 weeks in some cases. For fungal infections of the nails, the treatment duration typically ranges from 6 to 12 weeks. The duration varies depending on the type of fungal infection, the affected site, and the patient's response to treatment.
Can I drink tea or coffee while taking Terbact Tablet?
Consuming caffeinated beverages like tea and coffee should be undertaken with caution when using Terbact Tablet. Terbact Tablet reduces the metabolism rate of caffeine by 19%, leading to an increase in caffeine levels in the bloodstream. This may result in side effects such as jitters, headaches, increased heart rate, and restlessness.
