Frequently asked questions
Can Terbikrus 250mg Tablet be used by patients with liver cirrhosis?
Oral intake of Terbikrus 250mg Tablet is not recommended for patients with chronic or active liver disease. It's important to have a pre-treatment liver function test to assess the liver's ability to metabolize the medication before initiating treatment. This is because the medicine is processed by liver enzymes and an inefficient liver may lead to elevated drug levels in the blood, resulting in increased side effects and toxicity. Therefore, it's crucial for patients with liver disease to inform their doctor about any existing medications they are taking. The physician might consider periodic monitoring (after 4-6 weeks of treatment) of liver function tests and adjust the dose accordingly.
Does Terbikrus 250mg Tablet cause skin reactions?
While rare, some individuals may develop skin reactions while using Terbikrus 250mg Tablet. There have been reported cases of severe skin/hypersensitivity reactions such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, and other serious reactions. It is imperative to consult a physician before taking this medication. If you notice any type of skin reaction or rash, discontinue the medication immediately and inform your doctor.
Is Terbikrus 250mg Tablet effective?
Terbikrus 250mg Tablet is effective as an antifungal agent when used in accordance with a doctor's recommended dosage and duration. Do not discontinue the medication even if you see improvement, as stopping it early may allow the fungus to continue growing and potentially lead to relapse or worsening of the infection.
How long do I need to take Terbikrus 250mg Tablet?
The duration of treatment for various fungal infections, such as Tinea pedis (fungal infection in the foot), Tinea corporis (ringworm), and Tinea cruris (fungal infection in the groin), typically lasts around 2 to 4 weeks. In some cases, it may extend to 6 weeks. For nail fungus, treatment duration can vary between 6 and 12 weeks. The specific duration is decided by the doctor based on the type of infection, its location, and the patient's response to therapy.
Can I drink tea or coffee while taking Terbikrus 250mg Tablet?
Consumption of caffeinated beverages such as tea and coffee should be carefully considered when undergoing treatment with Terbikrus 250mg Tablet.
