Overview

Apo Terbinafine 250mg Tablet is a prescription-only medicine (POM) presented as a tablet, with Terbinafine 250mg (as terbinafine hydrochloride) as its active ingredient content.

This page is limited to product, safety and handling information, in line with Malaysian rules on prescription medicine information for the public. Your prescriber or pharmacist is the right source for anything beyond that, together with the leaflet inside the pack.

Through DoctorOnCall, this product is supplied after an online consultation with a licensed doctor and a valid prescription, and it is checked by a registered pharmacist before dispensing. Take it exactly as prescribed, and speak to your doctor before stopping, changing the dose, or starting any other medicine alongside it.

Directions for Use

Take Apo Terbinafine 250mg Tablet once daily, at about the same time each day, with or without food. Swallow the tablet whole with water. Complete the full course as prescribed, even if your symptoms improve early, as stopping too soon can allow the infection to return.

Dosage

The usual dose of Apo Terbinafine 250mg Tablet is 250mg once daily, with treatment duration depending on the site and severity of infection – commonly 2-6 weeks for skin infections and up to 6-12 weeks or longer for nail infections. Your doctor will determine the appropriate course length for your infection.
