This cream works by killing the fungus that causes these infections.
How long does it take for Terbieve 1% Cream to work on the skin?

Your doctor may extend the duration if your symptoms improve, but do not stop using it before completing the full course.
How do we apply Terbieve 1% Cream on the skin?
First, make sure the affected skin is clean and dry. Then, apply a thin layer of Terbieve 1% Cream onto the affected area. Avoid covering the skin with anything after applying the cream unless your doctor has instructed you to do so. However, if the infection presents under the breasts, between the fingers, buttocks, or groin, then apply the cream appropriately and cover the skin with a sterile dressing. Ensure that the medicine doesn't get into the eyes, nose, or mouth. If you experience any signs of increased irritation, redness, itching, burning, blistering, swelling, or oozing, notify your doctor immediately.
How long can I use Terbieve 1% Cream?
Terbieve 1% Cream typically begins to relieve symptoms within a few days. However, since fungal infections affect multiple skin layers, you may need to continue the medication for the recommended duration to achieve complete cure.

Abruptly stopping or skipping doses increases the risk of the infection returning, so always follow your doctor's instructions.

I feel better now. Can I stop using Terbieve 1% Cream?
