Lamisil

Special information if you are pregnant or breastfeeding

The safety of Lamisil during pregnancy has not been conclusively proven. Treatment with the tablets should not be started during pregnancy, and the cream and solution should be used only if clearly needed.

Lamisil from the tablets does appear in breast milk, so the drug is not recommended while breastfeeding. Do not apply Lamisil cream or solution to the breast.
