Description

Terbinafine Topical is used to treat a wide range of fungal infections of the skin and nails, including ringworm. It works by killing the fungus that causes the infection. Terbinafine Topical is for external use only. It should be used in the dose and duration suggested by the doctor. Applying it at the same time every day will help you remember to use it. 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. Do not stop using it until you have finished the complete course, even when you feel better. If you stop using this medicine too early, the fungus may continue to grow and the infection may return or worsen.

These are usually mild but let your doctor know if they bother you or last more than a few days. Avoid direct contact with eyes, nose, or mouth.
