Terbinafine 1% Antifungal Cream (30g)
Terbinafine 1% Cream is a highly effective antifungal medication used to treat various skin infections. As an allylamine antifungal, it works by stopping the growth of fungi that cause skin irritation and discomfort. This 30g tube is an economical choice for treating larger areas or for infections that require a full 2-week course of treatment.
What is Terbinafine 1% Cream used for?
In Nigeria, Terbinafine cream is a trusted solution for common fungal conditions. It is primarily indicated for:
- Athlete’s foot (Tinea pedis): Itching and scaling between the toes.
- Jock itch (Tinea cruris): Fungal infection in the groin or inner thigh area.
- Ringworm (Tinea corporis): Circular, red, itchy skin rashes.
- Pityriasis (Tinea versicolor): Fungal infection that causes small discolored patches on the skin.
- Skin Yeast Infections: Often referred to locally as part of "toilet infections," Terbinafine helps clear cutaneous candidiasis.
How it Works
The active ingredient, Terbinafine Hydrochloride, targets the fungal cell membrane. By inhibiting the production of ergosterol, it causes fungal cells to break down, providing fast relief from itching, burning, and redness.
How to use Terbinafine Cream
For the best results, follow these steps:
- Wash the affected area with mild soap and dry it completely.
- Apply a thin layer of cream to the infected skin and the immediate surrounding area.
- Apply once or twice daily, usually for 1 to 2 weeks.
- Continue using the cream for the prescribed duration, even if symptoms disappear after a few days, to prevent the infection from returning.
