Frequently asked questions
Can Terbiza 250mg Tablet be used by patients with liver cirrhosis?
Oral administration of Terbiza 250mg Tablet is not recommended for patients with chronic or active liver disease. A liver function test can help determine if the liver is functioning adequately before prescribing this medication. This is because the drug undergoes metabolism within the liver, and impaired liver function can lead to elevated drug levels in the bloodstream, resulting in increased side effects and toxicity. It's crucial to inform your physician about any pre-existing liver conditions or existing medications you're taking as these interactions could contribute to liver toxicity. Periodic monitoring (after 4-6 weeks of treatment) of liver function is also advised and dosage adjustments may be necessary.

Sensitivity to Terbiza 250mg Tablet can lead to skin reactions. While these are rare, reports of severe reactions such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis have been reported with this medication. If you experience any type of skin reaction or rash, immediately discontinue the medication and contact your doctor.

Terbiza 250mg Tablet is a prescribed medication for fungal infections. It's crucial to use it under the direction of your doctor and not stop taking it prematurely, even if you experience improvement.

However, the duration may extend to 6 weeks in specific cases. For fungal infections of nails, treatment often spans from 6 to 12 weeks, with nail fungus needing 6 weeks for fingernails and around 12 weeks for toenails.
