Treatment duration varies depending on the type and severity of the fungal skin infection, but usually takes 1 to 2 weeks. A doctor may extend treatment duration based on individual response.

How do we apply Terbex Cream on the skin?
Clean and dry the affected skin thoroughly before applying Terbex Cream. Apply a thin layer to the affected area gently. Do not cover the area unless advised by your doctor, but if the infection is under breasts, between fingers, buttocks, or groin, ensure proper application with a sterile dressing if needed. Avoid getting the medication into your eyes, nose, or mouth. If you experience any signs of increased irritation (e.g., redness, itching, burning, blisters, swelling, oozing), notify your doctor immediately.
How long can I use Terbex Cream?
Terbex Cream usually provides relief within a few days. However, since fungal infections affect multiple skin layers, it may require continuing the medication as prescribed for up to 1-2 weeks or even longer, depending on the severity of your case. Stopping treatment prematurely can increase the risk of fungal infection relapse. If you don't see improvement after the prescribed duration, consult your doctor immediately.
Is Terbex Cream safe for children?
Terbex Cream is only approved for use in people aged 12 years or older. Safety information for individuals under 12 years of age is not available as the medication has not been approved for them.
I feel better now. Can I stop using Terbex Cream?
