Frequently Asked Questions
What is Terbinafine and how does it work?

This action results in the death of the fungus and is effective in treating a variety of skin and nail infections.
What fungal infections can Terbinafine treat?
Terbinafine is used to treat several fungal infections, including athlete’s foot, ringworm, jock itch, and nail fungus (onychomycosis). It’s effective for both localized skin infections and systemic fungal conditions.
How do I apply Terbinafine cream for skin infections?
To use Terbinafine cream, apply a thin layer to the affected area after cleaning and drying the skin. Rub the cream in gently and continue to apply it as directed, even if the symptoms improve before the full course is completed.
How long does it take for Terbinafine to work?
For skin infections, Terbinafine cream typically shows improvement within 2 to 4 weeks of consistent use. For nail fungus, oral Terbinafine may take 6 to 12 weeks for noticeable results, depending on the severity of the infection.
