Terbinafine

Product Overview

Terbicip is an antifungal medication containing the active ingredient Terbinafine. This broad-spectrum treatment is effective against various fungal infections affecting the skin and nails. By inhibiting ergosterol synthesis—a crucial component of fungal cell membranes—Terbicip disrupts fungal growth and eliminates infections. Available in both topical and oral formulations, it provides comprehensive treatment while promoting skin and nail recovery.

Uses

Terbicip is prescribed for treating fungal infections including athlete’s foot (tinea pedis), jock itch (tinea cruris), ringworm (tinea corporis), and nail infections (onychomycosis). It also effectively addresses pityriasis versicolor, a condition causing skin discoloration. By targeting the root cause of fungal infections, Terbicip alleviates symptoms and supports healing.

How to Use

For topical application: Clean and dry the affected area before applying a thin layer of Terbicip cream or gel. Gently massage into the skin and cover if directed. Use twice daily or as prescribed. For oral tablets: Take with a full glass of water, typically once daily with meals. Strictly adhere to your doctor’s dosage instructions for optimal effectiveness.

How it Works

Terbicip’s active ingredient, Terbinafine, works by blocking squalene epoxidase—a key enzyme in fungal cell membrane production. This disruption of ergosterol synthesis weakens and ultimately destroys fungal cells. Its selective action targets fungi while sparing human cells, making Terbicip both potent and well-tolerated.

Dosage and Administration

Dosage varies based on infection type and severity. Topical applications require twice-daily use on affected areas. Oral treatment typically involves 250 mg daily: 6-12 weeks for nail infections or 2-6 weeks for skin infections. Pediatric doses are weight-dependent. Always follow your healthcare provider’s specific instructions.
