Frequently asked questions
What is Terbiase 1% Cream?
Terbiase 1% Cream is a prescription medication used to treat various types of superficial fungal infections, including athlete's foot, ringworm, and jock itch. It also helps treat fungal skin infections such as pityriasis (tinea versicolor), which causes white or dark pigmentation on the face, neck, chest, arms, or legs.
How long does it take for Terbiase 1% Cream to work?
Terbiase 1% Cream works by killing the causative fungus on the skin. While its effects are typically noticeable within a few days, complete symptom relief may take several weeks depending on the type of fungal infection and individual response. It is crucial to use the medication for the full prescribed duration, as stopping before that may increase the risk of relapse.
How do I apply Terbiase 1% Cream?
Before applying Terbiase 1% Cream, ensure your skin is clean and dry. Apply a thin layer to the affected area gently. Do not cover the area unless directed by your doctor. For specific areas like the breasts, fingers, buttocks, or groin, use proper application techniques while covering with a sterile dressing if needed. Avoid getting the cream into your eyes, nose, or mouth.
How long can I use Terbiase 1% Cream?
For most fungal infections, it takes a few days to begin feeling better. However, since fungal infections often affect multiple skin layers, you may need to continue using Terbiase 1% Cream for the full prescribed duration to ensure complete treatment and prevent recurrence. The typical duration of treatment varies between one to two weeks, with potential extensions up to four weeks in certain cases. It's crucial to consult your doctor if your symptoms don't improve within the prescribed timeframe or show any unusual side effects.
Is Terbiase 1% Cream safe for children?
Terbiase 1% Cream is only approved for use by people over 12 years of age. Safety in younger children has not been established, and using it without a doctor's recommendation is not advised.
I feel better now. Can I stop using Terbiase 1% Cream?
No, do not stop taking Terbiase 1% Cream without consulting your doctor even if you are feeling better. It's possible that the symptoms will improve before the infection is fully eliminated.
