Appearance

Indication
This product is suitable for 1. Infections of skin, hair and nails caused by Trichophyton (Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Trichophyton verrucosum, Trichophyton tonsurans and Trichophyton violaceum, etc.), Microsporum canis and Epidermophyton floccosum, etc. 2. Various tinea (tinea corporis, tinea cruris, tinea manuum and pedis, tinea capitis, etc.) and yeast infections of the skin caused by Candida (Candida albicans, etc.). 3. Onychomycosis (nail fungus infection) caused by dermatophytes.
Usage and Dosage
Oral administration, 0.25 g per time for adults, once a day, the course of treatment is as follows: Course of treatment for skin infections: tinea pedis and tinea manuum [interdigital and plantar types]: 2-6 weeks; tinea corporis, tinea cruris: 2-4 weeks; cutaneous candidiasis: 2-4 weeks. It will take several weeks after mycological cure to see the skin appear completely normal and the symptoms of infection disappear. Course of treatment for hair and scalp infections: Tinea capitis: 4 weeks, tinea capitis mostly occurs in children; Onychomycosis: The course of treatment for most patients is 6 weeks to 3 months, among which young patients can shorten the course of treatment due to normal nail growth, so less than 3 months of treatment may be sufficient except for the thumb (toe) nail. In other cases, the course of treatment is usually only 3 months. Some patients, especially those with infection of the thumb (toe) nail, may need 6 months or longer. Patients with slow nail growth seen in the first week of treatment may need a course of treatment longer than 3 months. A few months after mycological cure and cessation, the condition can continue to improve until the appearance of the nail plate is completely normal, because it takes time for healthy nail tissue to grow.
Adverse Reactions
This product is well tolerated, with mild to moderate side effects that are often transient. The most common are gastrointestinal symptoms (fullness, loss of appetite, nausea, mild abdominal pain and diarrhea) or mild skin reactions (rash, urticaria, etc.). Individual cases of severe skin reactions (such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis) have been reported. If progressive rash occurs, the drug should be discontinued. Rare taste changes, including loss of taste, can be recovered within a few weeks after discontinuation of the drug. In very rare cases, hepatobiliary dysfunction has occurred. Whether it is caused by this product has not yet been confirmed, but if the above situation occurs, this product should be discontinued. It has been reported that very few patients have neutropenia.
Precautions
It is contraindicated for patients who are allergic to terbinafine hydrochloride and other ingredients of this product.
Special Population Medication
Precautions for children: This experiment has not been conducted and there are no reliable references. Precautions for pregnancy and lactation: Since the experience of using this product in pregnant women is extremely limited, pregnant women should not use it in principle unless the possible benefits outweigh any possible risks. Terbinafine can be excreted through breast milk, so mothers who receive oral treatment with this product should not breastfeed. Precautions for the elderly: This experiment has not been conducted and there are no reliable references.
Drug Interactions
Interaction studies have shown that terbinafine has little effect on the clearance of drugs metabolized by the cytochrome P450 enzyme system (such as cyclosporine, D860 or oral contraceptives). However, women who use oral contraceptives should use this product with caution, because a very small number of people may have menstrual disorders. In addition, hepatic enzyme inducers (such as rifampicin, etc.) can accelerate the plasma clearance of terbinafine, while hepatic enzyme inhibitors (such as cimetidine, etc.) can inhibit its clearance. Therefore, if all of these are needed, the dose of terbinafine needs to be adjusted appropriately.
Storage
Keep away from light and store in a sealed container.
