Frequently asked questions
Can Terboript 250 Tablet be safe for use in patients with liver cirrhosis?
Oral intake of Terboript 250 Tablet is not recommended in patients with chronic or active liver disease. Your doctor may prescribe a liver function test to assess liver function before initiating treatment, as the medication undergoes metabolism by liver enzymes. If liver function is impaired, it can lead to increased drug levels in the blood, potentially causing side effects and toxicity. Therefore, informing your doctor of any pre-existing liver disease or cirrhosis is crucial. Additionally, disclosing all medications you are currently taking to your doctor is important, as interactions with other drugs might exacerbate liver toxicity. Your doctor may recommend periodic monitoring (after 4-6 weeks of treatment) for liver function and adjusting the dosage accordingly.
Does Terboript 250 Tablet cause any skin reactions?
Yes, some individuals may experience skin reactions while using Terboript 250 Tablet. There are rare reports of severe skin/hypersensitivity reactions like Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, and other serious reactions associated with the medication. Therefore, it is essential to consult with your physician before taking this medication. If you notice any signs of a skin reaction or rash, immediately discontinue use and report the incident to your doctor.
Is Terboript 250 Tablet effective?
Terboript 250 Tablet is effective as an antifungal agent when used at the prescribed dose and duration by your doctor. Do not stop taking it prematurely, even if you experience improvement in your condition. If you discontinue treatment early, the fungus may continue to grow, potentially leading to recurrence or worsening of the infection.
How long do I need to take Terboript 250 Tablet?
The standard duration of treatment for various fungal infections like Tinea pedis (foot), Tinea corporis (ringworm), and Tinea cruris (groin) is approximately 2 to 4 weeks. The duration may extend up to 6 weeks in some cases. For nail fungal infections, the timeframe typically ranges from 6 to 12 weeks. However, the exact treatment duration will be decided by your doctor based on factors such as the specific infection type, location of the infection, and patient response to the therapy.
Can I drink tea or coffee while taking Terboript 250 Tablet?
Consumption of caffeinated beverages like tea or coffee should be done cautiously while on Terboript 250 Tablet. This medication inhibits the rate of caffeine metabolism by around 19%, potentially leading to increased levels of caffeine in the blood, which may cause side effects such as jitteriness, headache, increased heart rate, and restlessness.
