Description
VELLTERB-250 Tablets contains Terbinafine which belongs to Antifungal agents, used to treat fungal infections of the skin and nails. It acts by attacking and killing fungus which causes infection. This medicine has a broad spectrum of antifungal activity. At low concentrations it is fungicidal against dermatophytes, molds and certain dimorphic fungi. Terbinafine interferes with the production of ergosterol and causes a buildup of another substance called squalene in the fungal cell. This leads to a deficiency in ergosterol and to an intracellular accumulation of squalene, resulting in fungal cell death. Both actions cause the death of the fungus and elimination of the infection.
Always take as prescribed by your doctor. Before taking this VELLTERB-250 Tablets, inform your doctor if you are allergic to antibiotics or having kidney or liver problems and if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. It is not recommended for use in children. Do not drive or operate any machines while taking this medicine as it may cause dizziness or fatigue. The common side effects are headache, rash and diarrhoea.

How to use VELLTERB-250 Tablets
Follow all directions on your prescription label. Do not take this medicine in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended.
You may take the terbinafine tablet with or without food.
Terbinafine granules should be sprinkled into a spoonful of pudding or mashed potatoes (do not mix with applesauce, fruit juice, or other fruit-based or acidic foods). Swallow this mixture right away without chewing. Do not save the mixture for later use.
Terbinafine is usually taken for 6 weeks to treat scalp or fingernail infections, and for 12 weeks to treat a toenail infection.
Use this medicine for the full prescribed length of time. Your symptoms may improve before the infection is completely cleared. Skipping doses may also increase your risk of further infection that is resistant to antifungal medicine. Terbinafine will not treat a viral infection such as the flu or a common cold.
While using terbinafine, you may need frequent blood tests.
It may take several months for your nails to return to their normal appearance after your treatment with terbinafine.
Store at room temperature away from moisture, heat, and light. Keep the terbinafine oral granules in their sealed packet until you are ready to use.
