Oral intake of Terbitica 250 Tablet is not recommended in patients with chronic or active liver disease. Before starting Terbitica 250 Tablet, a liver function test (LFT) should be performed to assess liver health. This is essential because the medication is metabolized by liver enzymes and any reduced liver function can lead to increased drug levels in the blood, potentially increasing side effects and toxicity. It's crucial to inform your doctor if you have liver disease or cirrhosis. Also, disclose all other medications you are taking as these can interact with Terbitica 250 Tablet and potentially impact liver function. Your doctor may recommend periodic monitoring (after 4-6 weeks of treatment) through LFT testing and adjust the dose accordingly.

The duration may extend up to 6 weeks for some cases. For nail fungal infections, treatment duration typically ranges from 6 to 12 weeks. Nail fungal infections can take up to 6 weeks for fingernails and up to 12 weeks for toenails.
