Texifen 250 mg Tablet

Texifen 250 mg Tablet is an oral antifungal medicine that contains 250 mg of terbinafine in each tablet. It belongs to the allylamine class and is used to treat certain fungal infections of the skin, hair, and nails. Texifen 250 mg Tablet is taken by mouth and is typically prescribed when a doctor wants systemic treatment for infections that may not clear with topical products alone. It is sold here as a strip/box of 10 tablets from Leeford Healthcare Limited.

How it works: Terbinafine works by blocking an enzyme fungi need to build their cell membrane, which weakens and kills the fungus. As a tablet, Texifen 250 mg Tablet treats the infection from inside the body so it can reach skin and nail sites that are harder to treat with creams alone.

Texifen 250 mg Tablet is a full-strength terbinafine tablet, and 250 mg is the standard oral dose used for many adult fungal infections. Because there are no other strengths or forms listed for this brand, this tablet represents the typical tablet strength a doctor may choose when oral treatment is needed and when a single daily tablet is appropriate. It is not an over-the-counter product and should be used only as directed for the specific infection being treated.

• Fungal nail infections
• Ringworm of the body
• Athlete’s foot
• Jock itch
• Other terbinafine-responsive skin fungal infections

• Swallow Texifen 250 mg Tablet whole with a glass of water.
• Take it at the same time each day if your prescriber tells you to use it daily.

• Do not crush or chew the tablet unless your pharmacist or doctor specifically says it is okay.
• Use it for the full course prescribed, even if the infection looks better before you finish.

Each Texifen 250 mg Tablet provides 250 mg of terbinafine. For many adult infections, it is taken once daily, but the exact schedule and total treatment length depend on the infection being treated and your doctor’s plan. Do not take more than the amount prescribed; your clinician decides the right dose for you based on your condition, age, liver health, and other medicines.

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