Frequently asked questions
What is Terbo-sense Cream?
Terbo-sense Cream is an antifungal medication used to treat superficial fungal infections such as athlete's foot, ringworm, and jock itch. It also helps treat fungal skin infections like pityriasis (tinea versicolor), which causes white or dark pigmentation on the face, neck, chest, arms, or legs.
How long does Terbo-sense Cream take to work?
Terbo-sense Cream is an antifungal medication applied directly to the skin. It acts on the skin and begins to cure fungal skin infections after a few days of use. The duration of treatment varies from 1 to 2 weeks, depending on the type and severity of the infection. Your doctor may extend the course if needed for complete healing. However, you will see noticeable improvements within a few days; continued medication for the prescribed duration is essential for complete cure.
How do I apply Terbo-sense Cream to my skin?
Clean and dry the affected area before applying. Apply a thin layer of Terbo-sense Cream directly onto the affected skin, using gentle strokes. Don't cover the affected area unless advised by your doctor. However, if the infection is present under the breasts, between the fingers, buttocks, or groin, then apply the cream properly and consider covering the area with a sterile dressing. Avoid getting the medicine into the eyes, nose, or mouth. Inform your doctor in case of any signs of increased irritation, redness, itching, burning, blistering, swelling, or oozing.
How long can I use Terbo-sense Cream?
Terbo-sense Cream usually starts providing relief within a few days. However, since fungal infections affect multiple skin layers, you may need to continue the medication for the prescribed duration to ensure complete cure. For various fungal infections, the duration of treatment varies from 1 to 2 weeks and can be extended up to 4 weeks. Irregularly using or stopping before the prescribed time increases the risk of relapse.
