Terbinafine : Nail Fungus Treatment

Terbinafine, better known as Lamisil which is the commercial name, is an aynthetic allylamine antifungal used for treating fungal infections on fingernails and toenails.

 

What Terbinafine does is quite simple: it stops the growth of fungi on the nails, specifically the dermatophytes.

Terbinafine tablets are recommended to be taken once per day during 6 weeks to treat fingernails, and once per day during 12 weeks to treat toenails. This medication can only be purchased through medical prescription, and you must follow exactly the indications of your doctor, because it can have certain side effects such as:

- Diarrhea
- Upset stomach
- Rash
- Hives
- Taste changes
- Stomach pain

It can also cause more serious side effects, though uncommon such as:

- Chronic upset stomach
- Lack of appetite
- Extreme tiredness
- Vomiting/nausea
- Dark urine
- Pale stools
- Fever

Terbinafine or Lamisil treatment can be very expensive costing up to a thousand dollars per month, and must be followed daily or you risk growing that nail fungus again.

*NOTE* This article serves for general information only. Since Terbinafine is a prescribed medication, you must visit a proper doctor first for your nail fungus treatment.
