Sebifin 250 mg is a prescription for treating fungal infections of the fingernails and toenails, ringworm infections of the groin and body, and athlete’s foot. It effectively treats fungal skin infections that do not respond to the topical treatment. It contains the active component Terbinafine, which belongs to a class of drugs known as antifungals. Terbinafine interferes with the production of a substance called ergosterol, which the fungus requires to grow, and causes a build-up of another substance in the cells. These actions ultimately destroy the fungus and eliminate the infection.
Precautions (warning, allergy, things to remember)
Sebifin 250 is contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity to Terbinafine or any of the ingredients in the medicine. It should also not be given to individuals with chronic or active hepatic disease.

To help resolve the infection completely, you must keep taking the drug for the prescribed period even if your symptoms resolve or you begin to feel better in a few days. Since fungal infections take time to clear up, treatment discontinuation too soon can cause the fungal infection or related symptoms to flare up again.
For adults, the dose prescribed by the healthcare provider will depend on the type of infection and its nature (mild or serious). The suggested dose is 250 mg once daily. You should swallow the pills with a glass of water. You can take the tablet before or after consuming food. If you suffer from kidney problems, your healthcare provider may reduce your dose to half the recommended dose. Your healthcare specialist will tell you how long your terbinafine treatment will last. Your treatment of general fungal skin infection will probably last for four weeks. Treatment for the groin or body will normally last between 2 to 4 weeks, and that affecting the feet may last between 2 to 4 weeks and that affecting feet may last between 2 to 6 weeks. Your treatment of nail infections may last between 2 to 6 weeks, although toenail infection treatment may continue for six months or longer. Complete removal of the fungal infection may not occur until the infection is cured several weeks after treatment discontinuation.
