Frequently asked questions
Can Turvy 250mg Tablet be safe for use in patients with liver cirrhosis?
Oral intake of Turvy 250mg Tablet is not recommended in patients with chronic or active liver disease. Liver function testing may be necessary to assess the liver's ability to process medication before treatment. This is because the medicine is metabolized by liver enzymes, and impaired liver function can lead to increased drug levels in the bloodstream, resulting in higher side effects and toxicity. It is crucial to inform your doctor if you have any liver disease or cirrhosis. Please also disclose any other medications you are currently taking to prevent potential interactions that may worsen liver damage.
Does Turvy 250mg Tablet cause skin reactions?
Rare reports of individuals experiencing skin/hypersensitivity reactions like Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis and other severe skin reactions have been reported with the use of Turvy 250mg Tablet. Therefore, it is essential to consult your physician before starting treatment. If you develop any type of rash or skin reaction during treatment, discontinue the medication immediately and inform your doctor about the specific symptoms.
Is Turvy 250mg Tablet effective?
Turvy 250mg Tablet is an effective anti-fungal medication when used according to your physician's instructions. Do not stop taking the medicine even if you experience improvement in your condition.

The duration may sometimes extend up to 6 weeks. For nail fungal infections, treatment duration usually ranges from 6 to 12 weeks.
