Frequently asked questions
Is Terbifex 250 Tablet safe for patients with liver cirrhosis?
Oral administration of Terbifex 250 Tablet is not recommended in patients with chronic or active liver disease. A blood test to assess liver function should be performed before initiation of therapy. This is because the medication undergoes metabolization by liver enzymes, and impairment in liver function can increase drug levels in the bloodstream, leading to potential side effects and toxicity. Therefore, informing your doctor about any pre-existing liver conditions or medications you are currently taking is crucial for proper risk assessment and treatment planning. Additionally, regular monitoring of liver function (after 4-6 weeks of treatment) may be recommended by your physician.
Does Terbifex 250 Tablet cause any skin reactions?
Yes, sensitive individuals may experience skin reactions while using Terbifex 250 Tablet. There are rare reports of severe skin/hypersensitivity reactions like Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, and other skin reactions with Terbifex 250 Tablet. If you experience any type of skin reaction or rashes, immediately discontinue the medication and inform your doctor.
Is Terbifex 250 Tablet effective?
Terbifex 250 Tablet is considered effective as an antifungal medication when taken at the prescribed dosage for a duration specified by your physician. It's essential to follow the complete prescribed regimen, even if you observe improvements in symptoms, and not discontinue treatment early. Stopping Terbifex 250 Tablet prematurely may allow fungal growth to continue, potentially leading to recurrence or worsening of the infection.
How long do I need to take Terbifex 250 Tablet?
The usual treatment duration for different types of fungal infections (Tinea pedis, Tinea corporis, and Tinea cruris) ranges from 2 to 4 weeks. However, treatment durations may extend up to 6 weeks in specific cases. For nail fungus, the duration can vary between 6 to 12 weeks depending on the type of infection and location. Toenail fungal infections often require a course lasting around 12 weeks. The duration is determined by your doctor, considering factors such as the type of infection, the site of infection, and your response to treatment.
Can I drink tea or coffee while taking Terbifex 250 Tablet?
Consumption of caffeinated beverages like tea and coffee should be done cautiously while on Terbifex 250 Tablet.
