Benefits

In Eczema: Terbinaforce M calms the inflammation behind an eczema flare, quickly reducing the redness, itch and weeping so the skin can heal and the scratch-itch cycle is broken.
In Dermatitis: Terbinaforce M settles the red, itchy, inflamed skin of dermatitis, whether from an allergy, irritant or contact with something the skin reacts to.
In Psoriasis: Terbinaforce M reduces the thickening, scaling and redness of psoriasis plaques and relieves the itch.
In Skin inflammation and itching: Terbinaforce M relieves itching and inflammation of the skin from insect bites, rashes and reactions, so the skin can settle.
In Fungal infection: Terbinaforce M kills the fungus or stops it growing, clearing infections that creams alone cannot reach. Improvement is gradual and the course must be finished for a lasting result.
In Ringworm: Terbinaforce M clears widespread or stubborn ringworm of the body, groin or scalp, stopping the itch and spread of the rash.
In Nail fungal infection: Terbinaforce M reaches the fungus inside the nail through the bloodstream, which is why a thick, discoloured nail can slowly grow out clear over months.
In Thrush: Terbinaforce M clears the yeast behind oral or vaginal thrush, relieving the soreness, itching and discharge.
