Terbinafine Hydrochloride 1% W/w Cream

It is a topical antifungal medication used to treat a variety of fungal skin infections, including athlete’s foot, ringworm, jock itch, and other common dermatophyte infections. The cream contains 1% terbinafine hydrochloride, which works by inhibiting the growth of fungi. It does so by interfering with the production of ergosterol, a key component of the fungal cell membrane, leading to the destruction of the fungal cell and stopping the infection from spreading.

This cream is applied directly to the affected area, typically once or twice a day, depending on the severity of the infection and the guidance of a healthcare provider. It is absorbed quickly into the skin and provides fast relief from symptoms like itching, redness, and irritation caused by the infection. Terbinafine is often recommended for its ability to clear up infections more effectively and in a shorter period compared to other antifungal treatments.

Itmis generally well-tolerated, but side effects such as mild skin irritation, burning, or itching at the site of application may occur. It should not be used on broken or irritated skin, and care should be taken to avoid contact with the eyes. For best results, it is important to complete the full course of treatment, even if symptoms improve before the infection is fully cleared.
