Frequently asked questions
Can Terbicred 250mg Tablet be safe for use in patients with liver cirrhosis?
The use of Terbicred 250mg Tablet is not recommended for patients with chronic or active liver disease. It's essential to have a liver function test to assess the liver's condition before starting treatment. This is because the medication is metabolized by liver enzymes, and an inefficient liver can lead to increased drug levels in the blood, resulting in side effects and toxicity. Therefore, inform your doctor about any pre-existing liver diseases or cirrhosis you may have. It is also crucial to inform your doctor of other medications you are taking because interactions with some drugs could increase the risk of liver toxicity. Periodic monitoring (after 4-6 weeks) of liver function tests and dose adjustments based on results might be required.
Does Terbicred 250mg Tablet cause any skin reactions?
Some people may experience skin reactions while using Terbicred 250mg Tablet. Rare reports include severe reactions such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, and other allergic skin reactions. Therefore, consult your doctor before taking this medication. If you notice any skin rash or reaction, stop the medication immediately and contact your doctor.
Is Terbicred 250mg Tablet effective?
Terbicred 250mg Tablet is an effective anti-fungal medicine when taken as prescribed by your doctor. Do not stop taking it even if you see improvement, as stopping early could allow the fungus to return or worsen.
How long do I need to take Terbicred 250mg Tablet?
The usual treatment duration for Tinea pedis (foot fungal infection), Tinea corporis (ringworm), and Tinea cruris (groin fungal infection) is approximately 2 to 4 weeks. The duration may extend up to 6 weeks depending on the severity and specific type of fungal infection. For nail fungal infections, treatment durations vary from 6 to 12 weeks. Nail fungal infections require a longer duration than toenail fungal infections.
Can I drink tea or coffee while taking Terbicred 250mg Tablet?
Consuming caffeinated drinks such as tea and coffee should be done cautiously when on Terbicred 250mg Tablet.
