Terbinafine Cream 1% Uses

Terbinafine Cream 1% is prescribed to:

  • Treat athlete’s foot (tinea pedis), a fungal infection of the feet.
  • Manage ringworm (tinea corporis), a fungal infection of the skin.
  • Alleviate symptoms of jock itch (tinea cruris), a fungal infection in the groin area.
  • Treat other fungal skin infections as directed by a healthcare provider.

How Does Terbinafine Cream 1% Work

Terbinafine belongs to the allylamine class of antifungal medications. It works by inhibiting squalene epoxidase, an enzyme necessary for fungal cell membrane synthesis. This weakens the fungi, stops their growth, and allows the body to clear the infection more effectively.

  • Use Terbinafine Cream 1% exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider or as directed on the packaging.
  • Clean and dry the affected area before applying the cream.
  • Apply a thin layer of the cream to the infected area and the surrounding skin. Gently rub it in until absorbed.
  • Wash your hands after application unless treating your hands.
  • Use the cream for the full duration of treatment, even if symptoms improve earlier, to prevent the infection from returning.

  • Mild skin irritation at the application site
