Terbin-Ds

Description

Terbin-DS contains Terbinafine Hydrochloride, an oral antifungal treatment used for stubborn fungal infections of the skin, nails, feet, or groin. It works from inside the body to gradually stop fungal growth and kill the infection at its root.

Key Uses

Commonly used to treat:

• Athlete’s foot.

• Groin infections (jock itch).

• Ringworm patches on skin.

• Thickened or discolored nails due to fungus.

How It Works

Terbinafine blocks the fungus from producing ergosterol, an essential component of its cell membrane. Without it, the fungal cell breaks down and dies over time.

Common Side Effects

• Stomach discomfort or bloating.

• Diarrhea.

• Rash or itching.

• Headache.

• Muscle or joint aches.

In rare cases, some people report temporary taste disturbance.

Doctor Review

Dr. Salman Qureshi (Dermatologist): Terbinafine is one of the most reliable oral treatments for persistent fungal infections, especially when topical creams fail. It works best when taken consistently, usually for several weeks. Liver function should be monitored if treatment is long-term, but most patients complete therapy without major issues.

Caution

Avoid if:

• You have active liver disease.

• You’ve had allergy to Terbinafine or other antifungals.

• You are breastfeeding.

Use carefully if taking antidepressants, heart medicines, or blood thinners, as interactions are possible.

Storage

Store at room temperature, away from direct light, heat, and moisture. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
