Frequently asked questions
Can Terbicute 250mg Tablet be safe for use in patients with liver cirrhosis?
Oral administration of Terbicute 250mg Tablet is not recommended in patients with chronic or active hepatic disease. A liver function test should be performed to assess liver health before treatment initiation. This evaluation ensures effective liver function, as the medication undergoes metabolic processes by liver enzymes. Impairment in liver function can lead to elevated drug levels in the bloodstream and increase the risk of adverse effects and toxicity. Therefore, it is crucial to inform your physician if you have any liver disease or cirrhosis. Additionally, disclose all medications currently being taken, as coadministration with other drugs may exacerbate liver issues and potentially result in drug-drug interactions. Your doctor may recommend periodic monitoring (after 4-6 weeks of treatment) of liver function tests and make adjustments to the dosage accordingly.
Does Terbicute 250mg Tablet cause any skin reactions?
Some individuals might experience skin reactions while using Terbicute 250mg Tablet. There are rare reports of severe reactions, such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, and other hypersensitivity reactions with this medication. Therefore, consult your physician before taking this medication. If you develop any skin rashes or reactions, discontinue the medication immediately and inform your doctor.
Is Terbicute 250mg Tablet effective?
Terbicute 250mg Tablet is effective as an antifungal agent when taken at prescribed doses and durations recommended by your physician.

For fingernail fungal infection, the duration can be up to 6 weeks, while toenail fungal infections may require up to 12 weeks of treatment. The exact duration prescribed by your doctor will depend on the type of fungal infection, the site of infection, and the patient's response to therapy.
