CompositionTerbest Cream is used to treat fungal skin infections such as ringworm, athlete’s foot, and jock itch by stopping the growth of infection-causing fungi and relieving itching, redness, and irritation.

Terbest Cream is used to treat common fungal skin infections such as athlete’s foot, jock itch, pityriasis versicolor, and ringworm. It works by stopping fungal growth, helping clear itching, redness, irritation, and skin discoloration caused by these infections.
Ensure the affected skin area is clean and dry before application.
Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected area and gently massage it in until fully absorbed.
If your hands are not the area being affected, wash them thoroughly after applying the cream.
For specific advice on how to use this medicine, consult your doctor.
Terbest Cream is applied topically.
Terbest Cream may cause side effects such as redness, skin irritation or itching, burning sensation at the application site, dry skin, and peeling skin. If these symptoms persist or cause discomfort, consult your doctor.
Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve upon discontinuing the medicine. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.
You can also effectively manage common side effects like skin reddening, itching, or burning sensation at home by applying a cold compress or washing the affected area with cold water.
Terbest Cream contains terbinafine hydrochloride (1%) as the active ingredient. It works on the skin in the following manner:
Terbinafine hydrochloride halts an enzyme known as squalene epoxidase in fungi. This enzyme is necessary for producing ergosterol, a vital component of the fungal cell membrane.
By inhibiting squalene epoxidase and consequently reducing ergosterol synthesis, the medicine disrupts the formation of the fungal cell membrane. This action effectively stops the growth and spread of the fungal infection.
Exercise caution while using the medicine during pregnancy. It is always best to consult your doctor before starting this medicine.
If you're breastfeeding, exercise caution and consult your doctor before using the cream. Your doctor will assess the potential risks and benefits.
As it is a topical medication, there are no known interactions with alcohol. However, always consult your doctor regarding alcohol intake before starting a new medication.
