Frequently asked questions
What is Terbibest Cream?
Terbibest Cream is an antifungal medication specifically designed for treating superficial fungal infections. It's effective in managing conditions such as athlete's foot, ringworm, jock itch, and pityriasis (tinea versicolor). This cream works by eliminating the fungi that cause these infections.
How long does it take for Terbibest Cream to work on the skin?
Terbibest Cream is applied directly to the affected skin and works to treat fungal skin infections. The usual dosage regimen is once or twice daily. The duration of treatment, however, can vary depending on the specific type of fungal infection, ranging from 1 to 2 weeks. The doctor may extend this period as necessary based on individual response to treatment. You might see noticeable improvements within a few days. However, it's crucial to continue the medication for the full prescribed duration to ensure complete eradication of the infection.
How do we apply Terbibest Cream on the skin?
Before applying Terbibest Cream, ensure your skin is clean and dry. Gently apply a thin layer of cream to the affected area. It's important not to cover the treated area unless instructed by your doctor. If an infection is present under breasts, fingers, buttocks, or groin, proper application and covering with a sterile dressing may be necessary. It should be applied without getting it in the eyes, nose, or mouth. In case you experience any signs of increased irritation, redness, itching, burning, blistering, swelling, or oozing, promptly inform your doctor.
How long can I use Terbibest Cream?
Terbibest Cream typically provides relief within a few days. However, as fungal infections affect multiple layers of skin, it's crucial to continue the medication for the prescribed duration to achieve complete eradication. The typical treatment duration for various fungal infections is 1 to 2 weeks but can be extended up to 4 weeks in some cases. Interruption of treatment or stopping before the prescribed time increases the risk of recurring infection. If you don't notice improvement within the recommended period, please consult your doctor immediately.
Is Terbibest Cream safe for children?
Terbibest Cream is specifically approved for use in individuals aged 12 years and above. Its safety profile has not been established for children younger than 12 years. Only use this medication under the explicit direction of your doctor if your child is below 12 years old.
I feel better now. Can I stop using Terbibest Cream?
No, do not discontinue Terbibest Cream without consulting your doctor even if you feel better. Your symptoms might improve before the infection is fully eradicated. It's important to continue treatment for the prescribed duration to achieve complete relief from the fungal infection.
