Terbicare-F Lotion

Introduction

Terbicare-F Lotion is a topical medication that combines the active ingredients Terbinafine and Fluticasone Propionate. It is used to treat fungal skin infections and associated inflammation.

Uses

Terbicare-F Lotion is prescribed for the treatment of fungal skin infections such as athlete’s foot, jock itch, and ringworm. Additionally, it helps alleviate the associated symptoms of inflammation, itching, and redness.

Dosage and Administration

Apply a thin layer of Terbicare-F Lotion to the affected area of the skin once daily, or as directed by your healthcare provider. Ensure that the skin is clean and dry before application, and wash your hands thoroughly after applying the lotion.

Mechanism of Action

Terbinafine, one of the active ingredients in Terbicare-F Lotion, works by inhibiting the growth of fungi on the skin. Fluticasone Propionate, the other active ingredient, acts as a corticosteroid to reduce inflammation and associated symptoms.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include mild itching or burning sensation at the application site. Serious side effects are rare, but if you experience severe skin irritation, allergic reactions, or any unusual symptoms, seek medical attention immediately.

Drug Interactions

Terbicare-F Lotion may interact with certain medications, particularly other topical products containing corticosteroids or antifungal agents. Inform your healthcare provider about all medications, supplements, and topical treatments you are using.

Precautions

Before using Terbicare-F Lotion, inform your healthcare provider about any existing skin conditions, allergies, or ongoing treatments. Avoid applying the lotion to broken or infected skin, and refrain from covering the treated area with airtight dressings unless instructed otherwise.

Storage

Store Terbicare-F Lotion at room temperature, away from excessive heat and moisture. Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use, and out of reach of children and pets.

Patient Tips

• Complete the full course of treatment as prescribed, even if symptoms improve before the treatment period ends.
• Avoid using excessive amounts of the lotion, as it may not speed up the healing process and can increase the risk of side effects.
• If you miss a dose, apply the medication as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with the regular schedule.
