How to Use Terbinadoc Cream 10g Effectively
Using Terbinadoc Cream 10g correctly is crucial for successful treatment of your fungal skin infection. Follow these steps carefully:
- Clean the Area: Before applying the cream, thoroughly wash the affected skin area and the surrounding skin with mild soap and water.
- Dry Completely: Gently pat the area completely dry. Fungi thrive in moisture, so ensuring the area is dry is very important.
- Wash Hands: Wash your hands thoroughly before handling the cream to prevent contamination.
- Apply a Thin Layer: Squeeze a small amount of Terbinadoc Cream 10g onto your fingertip. Apply a thin layer of the cream directly to the infected skin area and gently rub it in. Make sure to cover the entire affected area and a small margin of healthy skin around it.
- Frequency: Apply the cream once or twice daily, as directed by your doctor or the product leaflet.
- Do Not Cover: Unless specifically instructed by your doctor, do not cover the treated area with bandages, plasters, or airtight dressings, as this can increase moisture and potentially worsen the infection.
- Wash Hands Again: Always wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water immediately after applying the cream to prevent spreading the infection to other parts of your body or to other people.
- Complete the Course: Continue using Terbinadoc Cream 10g for the full duration recommended by your doctor, even if your symptoms improve or disappear earlier. Stopping treatment too soon can lead to the infection returning.
If your symptoms do not improve after 1 to 2 weeks of consistent use, consult your doctor for further advice.
