Product Description

 

Terbiderm Fort 250mg tablets are a powerful oral antifungal medication prescribed to treat a wide range of stubborn fungal infections. The active ingredient, terbinafine, works by inhibiting an enzyme critical to the fungus’s cell membrane production, effectively killing the fungal cells from within the body.

Unlike topical creams that only treat the surface, Terbiderm Fort provides a systemic solution, making it highly effective for infections that are difficult to reach or resistant to creams, such as fungal nail infections (onychomycosis), ringworm of the scalp, and severe athlete’s foot. The medication is taken orally and travels through the bloodstream to the site of the infection, providing a more comprehensive and long-lasting treatment.

Directions for Use

 

1. Take the tablet orally once daily with or without food, as directed by your doctor.
2. The duration of treatment depends on the type and severity of the infection. It can range from 2 weeks for skin infections to several months for nail infections.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

 

Q1: How does Terbiderm Fort work? Terbiderm Fort contains terbinafine, which kills fungi by preventing them from forming an essential part of their cell wall. This action causes the fungal cells to die, thereby clearing the infection.

Q2: What types of fungal infections can this medication treat? This medication is prescribed to treat fungal infections of the fingernails and toenails (onychomycosis), scalp ringworm (Tinea capitis), athlete’s foot (Tinea pedis), and jock itch (Tinea cruris) that have not responded to topical treatments.

Q3: Is it possible to have side effects? As with any medication, side effects can occur. Common side effects may include headaches, nausea, diarrhea, or a mild rash. In rare cases, more serious side effects related to liver function can occur. Your doctor will likely perform blood tests before and during treatment to monitor liver health.

Q4: How long until I see results? The time to see results varies. For skin infections, you may see improvement within a few weeks. For nail infections, the full effect can take several months, as the new, healthy nail must grow out completely.

Q5: Can I stop taking the tablets when the symptoms go away? No. You must complete the full course of treatment as prescribed. Stopping early may not have killed all the fungi, which can cause the infection to return and become more resistant to future treatment.
