Frequently asked questions
What is Terlite Cream?
Terlite Cream is a medication used to treat superficial fungal infections such as athlete's foot, ringworm, and jock itch. It also helps to treat fungal skin infections like pityriasis (tinea versicolor), which causes white or dark pigmentation on the face, neck, chest, arms, or legs. It acts by killing the causative fungus, thereby treating the infection.
How long does it take for Terlite Cream to work on the skin?
Terlite Cream is an antifungal medication that works on the skin to cure fungal skin infections. The usual dosage of Terlite Cream is once or twice daily. Treatment duration varies from 1 to 2 weeks, depending on the type of fungal skin infection. The doctor may extend treatment duration based on patient response. You will likely see noticeable results within a few days; however, continued use for the prescribed period is essential to completely cure the fungal infection.
How do we apply Terlite Cream on the skin?
Clean and dry the affected skin area properly. Apply a thin layer of Terlite Cream directly onto the affected skin gently, without covering the area unless instructed by the doctor. If the infection is present under breasts, between fingers, buttocks, or groin, then apply the cream appropriately and cover the skin with a sterile dressing. Avoid getting the medication in your eyes, nose, or mouth. Report any signs of increased irritation, redness, itching, burning, blistering, swelling, or oozing to your doctor.
How long can I use Terlite Cream?
Terlite Cream typically provides relief in a few days. However, since fungal infections affect multiple skin layers, the medication may need to be continued for the prescribed duration to eliminate the infection completely. Treatment duration for various fungal infections is between 1 and 2 weeks, which can be extended up to 4 weeks. Irregular use or stopping treatment before the prescribed time increases the risk of reinfection. Consult your doctor immediately if you don't experience improvement within the prescribed timeframe.
Is Terlite Cream safe in children?
Terlite Cream is only approved for use in individuals over 12 years old. Safety data for children is not available. It should not be used in children under 12 years of age unless prescribed by a doctor.
I feel better now. Can I stop using Terlite Cream?
No, do not stop taking Terlite Cream without consulting your doctor. Even if you are feeling better, symptoms may improve before the infection is completely cured. To ensure complete treatment, it is crucial to continue medication as prescribed by your doctor.
