Terbiface

Product Overview

Terbiface is a medication containing the active ingredient Terbinafine (250mg) in tablet form. It is a systemic antifungal agent used to treat fungal infections of the skin, hair, and nails. Terbiface works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, a vital component of fungal cell membranes, leading to disruption of fungal growth and ultimately fungal cell death. It is an effective treatment option for various fungal infections, providing relief from itching, scaling, and discomfort associated with these conditions.

Uses

Terbiface is indicated for the treatment of fungal infections, including athlete’s foot (tinea pedis), ringworm (tinea corporis), jock itch (tinea cruris), and fungal nail infections (onychomycosis). It is also used for the treatment of pityriasis versicolor, a fungal infection that causes discolored patches of skin. Terbiface targets the underlying fungal infection, providing symptomatic relief and promoting the healing process.

How to Use

Terbiface tablets should be taken orally with a full glass of water, with or without food, as directed by a healthcare professional. It is essential to follow the prescribed dosage and duration of treatment to achieve optimal results. Do not crush or chew the tablets; swallow them whole. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule.

How it Works

Terbiface contains Terbinafine, which belongs to the allylamine class of antifungal medications. It works by inhibiting squalene epoxidase, an enzyme involved in the synthesis of ergosterol, a key component of fungal cell membranes. By disrupting ergosterol synthesis, Terbinafine alters the permeability and integrity of fungal cell membranes, leading to cell death and clearance of the infection.

Dosage and Administration

The recommended dosage of Terbiface for most fungal infections is one 250mg tablet once daily for 6 to 12 weeks, depending on the severity and type of infection. For nail infections, treatment may need to be extended for several months to ensure complete eradication of the fungus. Dosage adjustments may be necessary in patients with liver or kidney impairment. Always consult a healthcare professional for personalized dosing recommendations.
