About Tergosil Cream
Tergosil Cream is used to treat fungal infections of the skin, such as ringworm, jock itch, and athlete’s foot. Fungal infection is a skin disease in which a fungus attacks the tissue and causes infection. Fungal infections may be contagious (spread from one person to another).
Tergosil Cream contains Terbinafine, an antifungal that works by damaging the fungal cell membranes, which are essential for their survival as they prevent the entry of unwanted substances into the cells and stop the leakage of cell contents. Thereby, kills fungi and clears the fungal infection.
Some people may experience side effects like itching, irritation, or skin peeling. Most of these side effects of Tergosil Cream do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
If you are allergic to Tergosil Cream or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is recommended to consult a doctor before using Tergosil Cream. Avoid smoking or going near naked flames as the fabric (bedding, clothing, dressings) that is in contact with Tergosil Cream catches fire and burns easily, which is a serious fire hazard.
Description
Tergosil cream helps in dealing with various forms of skin and nail fungal infections including ringworm. This cream works effectively by targeting and eliminating the fungi causing the infection while aiding in skin healing.
One notable feature of tergosil is its ability to form a water-resistant layer over your skin. This ensures that the medication stays on longer, boosting its effectiveness significantly. This feature boosts the cream's efficacy by preventing it from washing off, allowing it to work longer on the affected areas.
It also provides a wide spectrum of care for your skin to aid recovery and prevent further infection.
