terbinafinkräm

Terbinafine cream, sold under the brand name Lamisil among others, is a topical antifungal medication. It is used to treat fungal infections of the skin, such as ringworm, athlete's foot, and jock itch. Terbinafine cream works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, a component of fungal cell membranes, leading to the death of fungal cells.

The cream is typically applied once or twice daily to the affected area until the infection clears up. It is usually well tolerated, but may cause side effects such as skin irritation, itching, burning, or redness. In rare cases, it may cause more serious side effects such as allergic reactions or liver problems.

Terbinafine cream should not be used if the person is allergic to terbinafine or any of the ingredients in the cream. It should also not be used on broken or damaged skin, as it may cause irritation. Pregnant women should consult their healthcare provider before using this medication, as it may harm an unborn baby.

Terbinafine cream is available in various strengths and formulations, including 1% and 2.5%. It is important to follow the instructions provided by the pharmacist or healthcare provider when using this medication. If symptoms persist or worsen, or if new symptoms develop, the person should consult their healthcare provider.
