How Terbinaforce-Plus Cream works
Terbinaforce-Plus Cream is a combination of four medicines: Terbinafine, Clobetasol, Ofloxacin and Ornidazole, which treats skin infections. Terbinafine is an antifungal which stops the growth of fungi by preventing them from forming their protective covering. Clobetasol is a steroid medicine. It blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen and itchy. Ofloxacin is an antibiotic which kills bacteria by preventing them from reproducing and repairing themselves. Ornidazole is also an antibiotic which kills other infectious microorganisms in addition to bacteria by damaging the DNA.

FAQs
Can I stop taking Terbinaforce-Plus Cream when my symptoms are relieved?

What precautions should be taken while using Terbinaforce-Plus Cream?
Terbinaforce-Plus Cream should not be used on the face. Do not use the medication for longer periods of time than you have been advised. Do not apply a bandage or dressing to the area being treated, as this will increase absorption of the preparation and increase the risk of side-effects.This medicine should only be used by the patient and never be given to other people even if their condition appears to be the same.
What would happen if I use a higher than the recommended dose of Terbinaforce-Plus Cream for long periods?

If you experience an increased severity of your symptoms, please consult your doctor for re-evaluation.
