How K-Terbimax Cream works

This is an antifungal skin cream. Terbinafine (commonly used in such products) inhibits fungal squalene epoxidase, leading to defective fungal cell membrane (ergosterol) synthesis and fungal cell death.

How to take K-Terbimax Cream

For external use only. Clean and dry the affected area, then apply a thin layer to the affected skin as advised by a doctor (commonly once or twice daily). Continue for the full prescribed duration even if symptoms improve; wash hands after application and avoid contact with eyes/mouth.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

Apply it as soon as you remember. If it is nearly time for the next application, skip the missed one — applying extra does not make up for it.

If you take too much

An overdose of this medicine can cause vomiting, liver injury and heart rhythm disturbance. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.
