Product Overview
Terbicip Cream is a medication containing the active ingredient Terbinafine (1% w/w) in cream form. It is a topical antifungal medication used to treat fungal skin infections, including athlete’s foot (tinea pedis), jock itch (tinea cruris), and ringworm (tinea corporis). Terbicip Cream provides effective relief from itching, burning, and discomfort associated with fungal infections of the skin. It is formulated for external use only and should not be ingested or applied to open wounds or mucous membranes.
Uses
Terbicip Cream is indicated for the treatment of fungal skin infections caused by dermatophytes, yeasts, and molds. It works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, a key component of fungal cell membranes, thereby disrupting fungal cell growth and replication. Terbicip Cream is commonly used to treat athlete’s foot, jock itch, and ringworm, which are characterized by redness, itching, and scaling of the affected skin.
How to Use
Before applying Terbicip Cream, clean and dry the affected area thoroughly. Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected skin and surrounding area, gently massaging it in until fully absorbed. Wash your hands after applying the cream, unless the hands are the affected area. Use Terbicip Cream as directed by your healthcare provider, usually once or twice daily for up to 2 weeks, depending on the severity of the infection.
How it Works
Terbicip Cream contains Terbinafine, which is an antifungal agent that belongs to the allylamine class of drugs. It works by inhibiting the enzyme squalene epoxidase, which is involved in the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes. By disrupting ergosterol synthesis, Terbinafine causes structural damage to the fungal cell membrane, leading to fungal cell death and clearance of the infection.
Dosage and Administration
The recommended dosage of Terbicip Cream is to apply a thin layer to the affected skin and surrounding area once or twice daily, as directed by a healthcare provider. Treatment duration may vary depending on the type and severity of the fungal infection. It is important to continue using Terbicip Cream for the full course of treatment, even if symptoms improve, to ensure complete eradication of the infection.
