Frequently asked questions
Can Terboript 250mg Tablet be used safely by patients with liver cirrhosis?
Oral administration of Terboript 250mg Tablet is not recommended for individuals with chronic or active liver disease. It's crucial to obtain a liver function test to assess liver efficiency before starting treatment. The medicine undergoes metabolism by liver enzymes, and impaired liver function can result in elevated medication levels, potentially causing increased side effects and toxicity. Therefore, informing your doctor about any existing liver conditions or previous medical treatments is important. Additionally, informing your doctor about any other medications you're currently taking is vital as this may lead to liver toxicity. Your doctor might suggest periodic monitoring (after 4-6 weeks of treatment) of liver function tests and make dose adjustments accordingly if necessary.

Specifically, fingernail fungal infections could require up to 6 weeks while toenail fungal infections might take 12 weeks to resolve fully. The optimal duration of therapy is determined by your physician based on the type of infection, its location, and your individual response during treatment.
