Terbicip Cream

Product Overview

Terbicip Cream is a topical antifungal treatment containing Terbinafine (1% w/w) as its active ingredient. This medicated cream is specifically formulated to combat fungal skin infections such as athlete’s foot (tinea pedis), jock itch (tinea cruris), and ringworm (tinea corporis). The cream effectively alleviates itching, burning, and discomfort caused by these infections. Designed exclusively for external application, it should never be taken orally or applied to open wounds or mucous membranes.

Uses

This antifungal cream is prescribed for treating skin infections caused by dermatophytes, yeasts, and molds. Its mechanism of action involves blocking ergosterol production, a vital component of fungal cell membranes, which ultimately disrupts fungal growth and reproduction. Terbicip Cream is particularly effective against common conditions like athlete’s foot, jock itch, and ringworm, all of which typically present with redness, itching, and skin scaling.

Application Instructions

For optimal results, cleanse and thoroughly dry the affected area before application. Apply a thin layer of cream to the infected skin and surrounding regions, gently massaging until fully absorbed. Wash hands after application unless treating hand infections. Follow your healthcare provider’s instructions regarding frequency, typically applying once or twice daily for up to two weeks, depending on infection severity.

Mechanism of Action

The active component Terbinafine belongs to the allylamine class of antifungal agents. It works by inhibiting squalene epoxidase, a crucial enzyme in ergosterol synthesis. This disruption compromises fungal cell membrane integrity, leading to fungal cell death and subsequent infection clearance.

Dosage Guidelines

Apply a thin layer to affected areas once or twice daily as directed by your healthcare professional. Treatment duration varies based on infection type and severity. Complete the full treatment course even after symptom improvement to ensure complete infection eradication.
