Frequently asked questions
What is Terlite Lotion?
Terlite Lotion is a topical medication used to treat superficial fungal infections like athlete's foot, ringworm, and jock itch. It can also be used to manage fungal skin infections such as pityriasis (tinea versicolor), which causes white or dark pigmentation on the face, neck, chest, arms, or legs. Terlite Lotion works by killing the fungus that is causing the infection.
How long does it take for Terlite Lotion to work?
Terlite Lotion is an antifungal medication that directly affects the skin and treats fungal infections. The usual application frequency is once or twice daily. Treatment duration typically varies from 1 to 2 weeks, depending on the type of fungal infection. Your doctor may extend the treatment based on your response to the medication. You may start noticing some improvement within a few days, but you must continue using it for the prescribed duration to fully eradicate the fungal infection.
How do I apply Terlite Lotion to my skin?
Before applying Terlite Lotion, clean and dry your affected skin thoroughly. Then, apply a thin layer of Terlite Lotion to the affected area gently. Do not cover the skin after applying unless directed by your doctor. However, if the infection is present under breasts, between fingers, buttocks, or in the groin, then carefully apply the cream while covering the skin with a sterile dressing if needed. Avoid getting the medicine in your eyes, nose, or mouth. If you experience any signs of increased irritation, redness, itching, burning, blistering, swelling, or oozing, inform your doctor immediately.
How long can I use Terlite Lotion?
Terlite Lotion typically provides relief within a few days. However, since fungal infections affect multiple skin layers, you may need to continue using the medication for the prescribed duration for complete healing. For various fungal infections, treatment duration can range from 1 to 2 weeks and may be extended up to 4 weeks. Stopping treatment prematurely or skipping doses increases the risk of a return of the infection. If you don't see any improvement within the prescribed time frame, consult your doctor as soon as possible.
Is Terlite Lotion safe for children?
Terlite Lotion has been approved for use only in individuals aged 12 years or older. The medication's safety profile has not been adequately established for use in children. It is advisable to avoid using it on children younger than 12 years of age unless prescribed by a doctor.
I feel better now, should I stop taking Terlite Lotion?
No, do not stop taking Terlite Lotion without consulting your doctor. Even if you are feeling better, the infection may not be completely cleared. Continuing the medication for the prescribed duration is essential to ensure complete treatment and prevent a relapse of the fungal infection.
