Terbicort-Total Cream
Prescription Required
Product introduction
Terbicort-Total Cream is a combination medicine used in the treatment of fungal infections and dermatitis. It kills and prevents the growth of fungi and stops the infection from spreading. It also blocks the production of certain chemical messengers that make the skin red, swollen, and itchy.
Terbicort-Total Cream should be used in the dose and duration as prescribed by your doctor. This medicine is for external use only and should be used regularly to get the most benefit from it. Do not use more than you need as it would not clear your condition faster and some side effects may be increased. The affected area should be clean and dry before application of the ointment. You must wash your hands thoroughly before and after applying this medicine.
Using the medicine may cause local site reactions such as burning, irritation, itching, and redness immediately following application. However, these side effects are temporary and usually subside on their own. Inform your doctor if they persist for a longer duration. Avoid direct contact of cream or ointment with your eyes. In case of accidental contact, wash your eyes with plenty of water immediately and seek medical attention. Do not cover the area being treated with airtight dressings such as bandages unless directed by a doctor, as this may increase the risk of side effects. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant or are breastfeeding.

How Terbicort-Total Cream works
Terbicort-Total Cream is a combination of five medicines : Ofloxacin, Clobetasol, Miconazole, Terbinafine, and Dexpanthenol. Ofloxacin is an antibiotic that works by stopping the action of a bacterial enzyme called DNA-gyrase. This prevents the bacterial cells from dividing and repairing, thereby killing them. Clobetasol is a steroid. It works by blocking the production of certain chemical messengers that make the skin red, swollen and itchy. Miconazole and Terbinafine are antifungal medications. They kill and stop the growth of the fungi by destroying its cell membrane, thereby treating your skin infection. Dexpanthenol is an emollient that softens and moisturizes the skin and decreases itching and flaking. This promotes healing of the skin infection.
