About Terfin Powder

Terfin Powder 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).

Terfin Powder 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.

Terfin Powder is only for external use. Use Terfin Powder as advised by the doctor. Avoid contact of Terfin Powder with nose, mouth, or eyes. In case Terfin Powder comes in contact with these areas accidentally, rinse with water thoroughly. Some people may experience side effects like itching, irritation, or skin peeling. Most of these side effects of Terfin Powder do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are allergic to Terfin Powder 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 Terfin Powder . Avoid smoking or going near naked flames as the fabric (bedding, clothing, dressings) that is in contact with Terfin Powder catches fire and burns easily, which is a serious fire hazard. If you have psoriasis, inform your doctor before using Terfin Powder .

Description

The Terfin Powder is a functional antifungal medication primarily designed to treat superficial fungal infections. It proves especially useful in combating athlete's foot, ringworm, and jock itch. Additionally, it addresses skin conditions caused by fungal infections such as pityriasis (tinea versicolour) which leads to uneven pigmentation on areas like the face, neck, chest, arms and legs. The chief action of Terfin Powder involves eradicating the causative fungus which makes it effective at providing relief from these conditions.

This powder is a comprehensive solution for varied types of fungal skin infections. It not only effectively treats the infections but also provides relief from associated symptoms, assisting in the healing of the affected skin. The active ingredient, terbinafine, halts the growth of the infection-causing fungus, promoting an overall recovery. The broad-spectrum application and fungicidal action make Terfin Powder an essential part of any skincare arsenal against fungal infections.
