What Terbinafine ABECE is and what it is used for<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Terbinafine Abece\u00a0cream\u00a0contains the active substance terbinafine.\u00a0It is an antifungal agent used for the treatment of\u00a0athlete’s foot\u00a0between the toes and fungal infection in the groin (also candida).\u00a0Terbinafine blocks a reaction in the fungus’s metabolism, which causes the fungus to die and the\u00a0infection\u00a0to heal faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Terbinafine contained in Terbinafine Abece\u00a0cream\u00a0may also be approved to treat other conditions not mentioned in this leaflet.\u00a0Ask your doctor, pharmacist, or other healthcare professional if you have further questions, and always follow their instructions.

How to use Terbinafine ABECE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Always use this medicine exactly as described in this leaflet or as directed by your doctor or pharmacist. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you are unsure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adults and adolescents from 12 years of age:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Athlete’s foot between the toes:<\/em> 1 time a day for 1 week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fungal infection in the groin (also candida ):<\/em> 1 time per day for 1-2 weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The symptoms usually disappear after a few days and the skin heals completely after some time, but it is important to complete the treatment to avoid recurrence. Contact a doctor if improvement does not occur after 1 week (for athlete’s foot ) or 2 weeks (for fungal infection in the groin), as your discomfort may have been caused by something other than a fungal infection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the treatment of other fungal infections, follow your doctor’s recommendation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instructions for use<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For use on the skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wash and dry the skin thoroughly before applying the\u00a0cream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spread a thin layer on the inflamed skin and a little around. Gently apply cream one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the\u00a0infection\u00a0is in a skin fold (eg in the groin), the smeared skin can be covered with\u00a0sterile\u00a0gauze, especially at night.\u00a0Wash your hands after applying the\u00a0cream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have used too much Terbinafine ABECE  <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Overdose of Terbinafine Abece, when used on the skin, is not likely.\u00a0However, if you ingest the\u00a0cream\u00a0by mistake, you may have\u00a0side effects\u00a0similar to those that can be expected from an overdose of terbinafine in tablet form.\u00a0These include headache, nausea, stomach pain<\/a>, and dizziness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have ingested too much medicine or if, for example,\u00a0a child accidentally ingested the medicine, contact a doctor or hospital for an assessment of the risk and advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you forget to use Terbinafine ABECE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Continue treatment as usual.\u00a0Do not use a double\u00a0dose\u00a0to make up for a missed\u00a0dose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have further questions about this medicine, contact your doctor or pharmacist.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Possible side effects<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Like all medicines, this medicine can cause\u00a0side effects, although not everybody gets them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some users may experience local symptoms such as\u00a0itching, skin flaking, pain, irritation, pigment changes, burning sensation in the skin, skin redness and scabs may appear on the treated skin areas.\u00a0These symptoms are usually mild, but still inform your doctor if such symptoms appear as they may be signs of an\u00a0allergy<\/a>, especially in the case of rashes, blisters, and hives<\/a>.\u00a0Your doctor may decide to end the treatment with Terbinafine Abece.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
