Terbisil 250 mg

Description

Terbisil 250mg Tablets contain Terbinafine Hydrochloride, an oral antifungal medicine used for stubborn fungal infections that do not respond to creams or lotions. It works by blocking a key enzyme (squalene epoxidase) in fungal cells, which eventually kills the fungus and stops further spread.

Key Uses

Commonly given for fungal infections of:

• Skin (ringworm, jock itch, athlete’s foot)

• Scalp (tinea capitis)

• Nails (thick, yellow, brittle nails caused by fungus)

How It Works

The medicine disrupts fungal cell structure by reducing ergosterol production and causing squalene buildup, which leads to fungal cell death.

Side Effects

Most users tolerate it well, but some may notice:

• Upset stomach, bloating, diarrhea

• Headache or dizziness

• Skin rash or itching

• Rarely, taste changes or loss of appetite

Medical attention is usually advised if taste disturbance lasts long or if jaundice-like symptoms appear.

Drug Interactions

Medicines for depression, heart conditions, blood thinning, stomach acid control, or cough syrups may interact with Terbinafine. Patients typically inform their doctor about all current medications before starting treatment.

Storage

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

Doctor Review

Dr. Salman Qureshi (Dermatologist): Terbisil Tablets are effective for deep-rooted fungal infections, especially nail fungus where topical creams often fail. However, patients must understand that results are gradual — nail infections may take months to clear even after treatment. Regular liver function monitoring is recommended during prolonged use.
