Frequently asked questions
What is Terbocet Cream?
Terbocet Cream is an antifungal medication used to treat superficial fungal skin infections. It is specifically designed to combat athlete's foot, ringworm, jock itch, and other conditions causing skin pigmentation issues like pityriasis (tinea versicolor). This cream works by killing the causative fungus, leading to complete infection elimination.
How long does it take for Terbocet Cream to work on my skin?
Terbocet Cream is applied directly to the affected skin and effectively treats fungal infections. It usually starts showing results within a few days, but complete treatment requires adhering to the prescribed dosage and duration. The actual time needed depends on the type of infection and the severity, with some cases requiring up to 2 weeks of treatment.
How do we apply Terbocet Cream?
Before applying Terbocet Cream: Ensure your skin is clean and dry. Apply a thin layer of cream on and around the affected area. Avoid covering the skin unless advised by your doctor, but if needed use a sterile dressing for areas like the breasts, between fingers, buttocks, or groin. Never get the medicine in your eyes, nose, or mouth. If you experience any unusual reactions such as itching, redness, burning, blisters, swelling, oozing, or increased irritation, inform your doctor immediately.
How long can I use Terbocet Cream?
It usually takes a few days to see relief from symptoms. However, for complete treatment of fungal skin infections that affect multiple layers, you might need to continue the medication as prescribed for 1 to 2 weeks, and this may be extended up to 4 weeks depending on your condition. Stopping treatment before completion increases the risk of infection recurrence. If you don't see improvement within the prescribed duration, consult your doctor promptly.
Is Terbocet Cream safe for children?
Terbocet Cream is only approved for use in individuals over 12 years of age. It has not been tested or authorized for children under 12 years old. Use it in children under the age of 12 only if prescribed by a doctor.
I feel better now. Can I stop using Terbocet Cream?
No, do not stop taking Terbocet Cream without consulting your doctor. Even if you are feeling better, continue the medication as prescribed. It may take a while for the infection to fully clear. Do not discontinue treatment before completing the entire course unless advised by your doctor.
