Terboderm 250 mg Tablet

Terboderm 250 mg Tablet is an oral antifungal medicine that contains terbinafine 250 mg in each tablet. It belongs to the allylamine class and is used to treat certain fungal infections, especially ringworm infections of the skin, jock itch, athlete’s foot, and fungal nail infections. Because it is a tablet taken by mouth, it treats infection from inside the body rather than working only on the skin surface. Terboderm 250 mg Tablet is made by Omega Pharmaceuticals Pvt. Ltd. and comes in a strip/box of 10 tablets.

How it works: Terbinafine works by blocking an enzyme fungi need to build their cell wall, which weakens and kills the fungus. In tablet form, Terboderm 250 mg Tablet circulates through the bloodstream to reach fungi in the skin, hair, and nails.

Terboderm 250 mg Tablet is a full-strength tablet form of terbinafine, so it is used when a doctor wants this exact oral dose for an infection that needs systemic treatment. Since there are no other strengths or forms in this brand line, the 250 mg tablet is the standard product option and is often chosen for once-daily treatment plans based on the type and severity of the fungal infection.

• Treatment of fungal nail infections (onychomycosis)
• Treatment of athlete’s foot (tinea pedis)
• Treatment of jock itch (tinea cruris)
• Treatment of ringworm (tinea corporis)
• Treatment of other dermatophyte fungal infections

• Swallow Terboderm 250 mg Tablet whole with a glass of water; do not chew or crush it.
• Take it at the same time each day if your doctor prescribes daily use.
• It can be taken with or without food, but taking it with food may help if it upsets your stomach.
• Follow the full course exactly as prescribed, even if your symptoms improve before the infection is gone.
• Do not take extra tablets to make up for a missed dose unless your prescriber tells you to do so.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for the next one; do not double up.

Each Terboderm 250 mg Tablet provides 250 mg of terbinafine, which is the usual tablet strength used in prescribed oral treatment. It is commonly taken once daily, but the exact schedule and treatment length depend on the infection and your doctor’s instructions. Do not take more than the prescribed daily amount, because the dose and duration should be decided by a clinician.

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