How Terbicip Spray works

Terbinafine is an allylamine antifungal that inhibits the enzyme squalene epoxidase in fungi. This blocks ergosterol synthesis and causes accumulation of squalene, leading to fungal cell death.

How to take Terbicip Spray

For external use only. Clean and dry the affected area, then spray a thin layer to cover the lesion and a small surrounding margin. Use as prescribed (commonly once or twice daily) and continue for the full course even if symptoms improve. Avoid contact with eyes, mouth and broken skin; wash hands after use.

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