Frequently asked questions
What is Terbic 1% Cream?
Terbic 1% Cream is a topical medication used to treat fungal infections. It helps to relieve symptoms of conditions such as athlete's foot, ringworm, jock itch, pityriasis (tinea versicolor), and other fungal skin infections. The cream works by killing the causative fungus, thereby treating the infection.
How long does it take for Terbic 1% Cream to work on the skin?
Terbic 1% Cream is an antifungal medication that acts directly on the skin and typically takes a few days to relieve symptoms. However, the duration of treatment can vary depending on the type of fungal infection. It may take up to two weeks or even longer depending on your individual response to the medication. For optimal results, it is crucial to complete the prescribed course of treatment.
How do we apply Terbic 1% Cream on the skin?
Before applying the cream, ensure the affected skin is clean and dry. Gently apply a thin layer of Terbic 1% Cream to and around the affected area. Do not cover the affected area with anything unless directed by your doctor. If you are dealing with fungal infections affecting specific areas like under the breasts, between the fingers, buttocks, or groin, the application should be done properly, followed by covering the skin area with a sterile dressing. Avoid getting the cream in your eyes, nose, or mouth.
How long can I use Terbic 1% Cream?
Terbic 1% Cream is usually effective in relieving symptoms within a few days of usage. However, as fungal infections affect multiple layers of the skin, you may need to continue using the medication for the prescribed duration for complete cure. The treatment period for different types of fungal infections can vary between one and two weeks, with potential extension up to four weeks. Irregularly stopping or discontinuing the treatment before the prescribed time will increase the risk of relapse.
