About Terbinext Cream

Terbinext Cream is an antifungal medicine that is used to treat fungal infections of the skin, such as ringworm, jock itch, and athlete’s foot. Fungal infection is a skin disease in which a fungus attacks the tissue and causes infection. Fungal infections may be contagious (spread from one person to another).

Terbinext Cream contains Terbinafine, an antifungal that works by damaging the fungal cell membranes, which are essential for their survival as they prevent the entry of unwanted substances into the cells and stop the leakage of cell contents. Thereby, kills fungi and clears the fungal infection.

Terbinext Cream is only for external use. Use Terbinext Cream as advised by the doctor. Avoid contact of Terbinext Cream with nose, mouth, or eyes. In case Terbinext Cream comes in contact with these areas accidentally, rinse with water thoroughly. Some people may experience side effects like itching, irritation, or skin peeling. Most of these side effects of Terbinext Cream do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are allergic to Terbinext Cream or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or a nursing mother, it is advised to consult a doctor before using Terbinext Cream. Avoid smoking or going near naked flames as the fabric (bedding, clothing, dressings) that is in contact with Terbinext Cream catches fire and burns easily, which is a serious fire hazard. If you have psoriasis, inform your doctor before using Terbinext Cream.

Description

Terbinext Cream serves as a topical antifungal agent, containing terbinafine, which is designed to address fungal skin infections effectively. This cream offers a reliable solution for these often persistent conditions. Terbinafine, the primary active ingredient, belongs to the allylamines group of medicines, renowned for their potent antifungal properties.

The mechanism of action for Terbinext Cream is straightforward. It specifically targets the fungal cell membrane by inhibiting the production of certain essential chemicals crucial for the cell's survival. The fungal cell loses its ability to multiply by blocking these chemicals, such as ergosterol, thereby preventing the further spread of the infection.
