About Terbo 1% 10G

Terbo 1% 10G is an antifungal medicine that is used to treat fungal infections of the skin, such as ringworm, jock itch, and athlete’s foot. Fungal infection is a skin disease in which a fungus attacks the tissue and causes infection. Fungal infections may be contagious (spread from one person to another).

Terbo 1% 10G contains Terbinafine, an antifungal that works by damaging the fungal cell membranes, which are essential for their survival as they prevent the entry of unwanted substances into the cells and stop the leakage of cell contents. Thereby, kills fungi and clears the fungal infection.

If you are allergic to Terbo 1% 10G or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or a nursing mother, it is advised to consult a doctor before using Terbo 1% 10G.
