CompositionTexifen Tablet 7 is used to treat fungal infections of the skin, hair and nails, including athlete's foot, jock itch and ringworm. It is a single-ingredient medicine containing terbinafine, and belongs to the class of antifungal medicines.
This medicine works by damaging the cell membrane of the fungi responsible for the infection, which weakens and kills them, and is particularly effective for onychomycosis, a fungal infection of the toenails or fingernails. Take this tablet with or without food, in the dose and duration prescribed by your doctor, which will depend on the type and location of the infection.
Tell your doctor about any liver or kidney problems, and about any other medicines you are taking, before starting this medicine. Complete the full course as prescribed, as stopping early may allow the infection to return. Report any nausea, skin rash, or yellowing of the skin or eyes to your doctor. Do not stop taking this medicine unless your doctor advises you to do so.
