Frequently asked questions
Can Termagic 250 Tablet be safe for use in patients with liver cirrhosis?
Oral intake of Termagic 250 Tablet is not recommended in patients with chronic or active liver disease. Before starting treatment, your doctor may order a liver function test to assess the liver's ability to process medication effectively. This is because the medication gets metabolized by liver enzymes and impaired liver function can lead to elevated drug levels, increasing side effects and toxicity. It is crucial to inform your doctor about any pre-existing liver conditions or cirrhosis. Also, provide a list of all current medications as interactions with other drugs can result in liver toxicity and potentially increase the risk of adverse reactions. Your doctor may advise periodic monitoring (after 4-6 weeks of treatment) and adjust the dosage accordingly based on liver function test results.
Does Termagic 250 Tablet cause any skin reactions?
Some individuals may develop skin reactions while using Termagic 250 Tablet. There have been rare reports of severe allergic reactions like Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, and other serious skin/hypersensitivity reactions associated with this medication. If you experience any type of rash or skin reaction during treatment, immediately stop the medication and notify your doctor.
Is Termagic 250 Tablet effective?
Termagic 250 Tablet is an effective antifungal medication if used as prescribed by your doctor. Do not discontinue the treatment prematurely even if you see improvement in your symptoms. Early cessation can allow the fungus to persist and potentially worsen or re-emerge.
How long do I need to take Termagic 250 Tablet?
The usual duration of treatment for fungal infections like Tinea pedis (foot), Tinea corporis (ringworm), and Tinea cruris (groin) is approximately 2 to 4 weeks. The duration may extend to 6 weeks in some cases. For nail fungal infections, the treatment usually lasts between 6 and 12 weeks. While toenail fungal infection may require up to 12 weeks of treatment.
Can I drink tea or coffee while taking Termagic 250 Tablet?
Consumption of caffeinated drinks like tea or coffee should be done with caution while on Termagic 250 Tablet. The medication reduces the rate at which caffeine is metabolized by the body, potentially leading to elevated caffeine levels in blood and potentially causing side effects such as jitteriness, headache, increased heart rate, and restlessness.
