Terbicip Cream

Terbicip Cream is an antifungal medicine for use on the skin, containing terbinafine in the strength stated on the package, with 10 tubes supplied in the box. Terbinafine belongs to the allylamine class of antifungals and is used to treat common fungal skin infections such as athlete’s foot, jock itch, and ringworm. Terbicip Cream is applied directly to the affected area to help clear the infection and relieve symptoms like itching, redness, and scaling.

How it works: Terbinafine stops fungi from making ergosterol, an important part of their cell membrane. Without that membrane support, the fungus weakens and dies, and the cream works right at the skin infection site.

Because Terbicip Cream is a topical cream rather than an oral medicine, it works locally on the skin where the fungus is present and is not meant to treat deep or widespread infections by itself. A doctor may choose Terbicip Cream when a simple, targeted treatment is appropriate and a cream base is preferred for easy spreading on dry, scaly, or itchy patches.

• Athlete’s foot
• Jock itch
• Ringworm
• Superficial fungal skin infections
• Itchy, scaly fungal rash

• Wash and dry the affected skin before applying Terbicip Cream.
• Apply a thin layer of the cream only to the infected area and a small amount of surrounding skin.
• Rub it in gently until it disappears from the skin.
• Use it exactly as your doctor told you, usually once or twice daily depending on the infection.
• Wash your hands after applying, unless the hands are the area being treated.
• Avoid getting the cream in the eyes, mouth, nose, or on broken skin unless your prescriber specifically instructed otherwise.

Terbicip Cream provides terbinafine in the labeled strength per tube for skin use only. The exact amount to apply and how often to use Terbicip Cream depends on the infection being treated and your doctor’s directions, because the dose is set by the prescriber rather than self-adjusted. Do not use more than directed on the label or by your clinician.

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 at the application site
• Itching at the application site
• Redness or irritation where applied
• Dry or peeling skin
• Temporary skin rash
• Slight skin tenderness

• For external use only; do not swallow Terbicip Cream.
• Avoid use in the eyes, mouth, or inside the nose.

• Do not cover the treated area with tight bandages unless your doctor says to.
• Stop and seek medical advice if the rash gets worse or does not improve as expected.

• If you have very irritated, cracked, or infected skin, ask a healthcare professional before using it.
