Lamisil Oral Uses
Terbinafine is used to treat certain types of fungal
infections (e.g., fingernail or toenail). It works by stopping the growth of
fungus. This medication belongs to a class of drugs known as
antifungals.
How To Use Lamisil Oral
Take this medication by mouth, usually once a day, or as
directed by your doctor. It may be taken with or without food. Dosage and
duration of therapy is based on your medical condition and response to
therapy.
It may take several months after completion of treatment
to see the full benefit of this drug. It takes time for your new healthy nails
to grow out and replace the infected nails.
Continue to take this medication until the full prescribed
amount is finished. Stopping the medication too early may allow the fungus to
continue to grow, which may result in a relapse of the
infection.
Inform your doctor if your condition persists or
worsens.
