Frequently asked questions
Can Terbisef 500mg Tablet be safe for use in patients with liver cirrhosis?
Oral administration of Terbisef 500mg Tablet is not recommended for individuals with chronic or active liver disease. A liver function test should be conducted to assess liver function before initiating treatment, as the medication undergoes metabolism by hepatic enzymes. Impaired liver function can lead to increased drug levels in the blood, potentially exacerbating side effects and toxicity. Therefore, it's crucial to disclose any pre-existing liver conditions or medications to your doctor during initial consultation. Furthermore, informing your physician about other medications you are taking is essential as this could potentially increase the risk of liver toxicity and alter medication efficacy.

Some individuals may experience skin sensitivity while using Terbisef 500mg Tablet. There are rare reports of serious skin/hypersensitivity reactions, including Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, and other severe skin reactions, associated with this medication. It's crucial to consult a doctor before taking this medicine. If you experience any type of skin reaction or rash, discontinue use immediately and report the incident to your healthcare professional.

However, the duration may sometimes extend up to 6 weeks. For nail fungal infections, treatment duration can range from 6 to 12 weeks, with toenail infections potentially requiring 12 weeks of therapy. The specific duration is determined by the physician based on the severity of the infection, location of the infection, and patient response during treatment.
