Sebifin Cream 1% (10 g)

Sebifin Cream 1% (10 g) is a topical antifungal medicine that contains terbinafine 1% in each 10 g tube. It belongs to the allylamine class and is used on the skin to treat certain fungal infections. Sebifin Cream 1% (10 g) is applied directly to the affected area to help clear athlete’s foot, jock itch, and ringworm. This product is for external use only and is meant for localized skin infection, not internal fungal infections.

How it works: Terbinafine works by blocking an enzyme fungi need to make ergosterol, an important part of their cell membrane. Without a normal membrane, the fungus cannot grow properly and dies off over time as the cream is applied to the skin.

Sebifin Cream 1% (10 g) is the standard skin concentration of terbinafine used for many common superficial fungal infections. Because it is a cream, it can be a good choice for people who want a topical treatment that spreads easily over irritated skin and starts working at the site of infection. A doctor may choose Sebifin Cream 1% (10 g) when the infection is limited to the skin and does not require an oral antifungal.

• Athlete’s foot (tinea pedis)
• Jock itch (tinea cruris)
• Ringworm (tinea corporis)
• Superficial fungal skin infection

• Wash and dry the affected skin before applying Sebifin Cream 1% (10 g).
• Apply a thin layer to the infected area and the skin just around it, then rub in gently.
• Use only on the skin; do not use in the eyes, mouth, vagina, or on broken skin unless your doctor tells you to.
• Wash your hands after applying, unless the hands are the treated area.
• Use it exactly as often and for as long as your doctor or the package directions say, even if the rash starts to look better.
• Keep the treated area clean and dry, especially with athlete’s foot, and change socks or underwear regularly.

Sebifin Cream 1% (10 g) provides terbinafine 1% for topical use, so the amount on the skin—not the tube size—is what determines the dose. It is usually applied once or twice daily depending on the infection and the prescriber’s directions, and there is no daily oral-style maximum because it is a skin cream. Your doctor decides the exact frequency and treatment length based on the infection and where it is located.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.

Common side effects of Terbinafine may include:

• Mild burning or stinging where applied
• Itching at the application site
• Redness or irritation of the skin
• Dry or peeling skin
• Temporary rash
• These effects are usually mild and more noticeable if the skin is already inflamed

• For external use only; do not swallow Sebifin Cream 1% (10 g).
• Do not use on the face, nails, scalp, or large body areas unless a clinician specifically directs it.
• Avoid using on broken, raw, or severely irritated skin unless told to do so.
• Stop and contact a clinician if irritation becomes severe or the rash worsens.
• Use caution if you have had an allergic reaction to terbinafine or similar antifungals before.
• Keep feet dry and change contaminated clothing or towels to help prevent reinfection.
• If symptoms do not improve as expected, the diagnosis may need to be checked by a clinician.

• Other topical products applied to the same area, such as creams, ointments, or medicated washes, may irritate the skin or affect how Sebifin Cream 1% (10 g) works.
• Occlusive dressings or tight coverings can increase irritation unless a clinician advises them.
• Sharing towels, shoes, or clothing can spread the fungal infection or cause reinfection.
• Using multiple antifungal products together may be unnecessary unless prescribed.
