Description
Lamisil Tablets (active ingredient terbinafine hydrochloride) are an antifungal medication commonly used to treat a variety of fungal infections, particularly those affecting the skin and nails, such as onychomycosis (fungal nail infection) and tinea (ringworm). Terbinafine works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes, ultimately leading to the death of the fungus. Lamisil is preferred for its effectiveness and concentrated action against dermatophytes and certain yeasts.
Dosage/Direction:
Lamisil Tablets are typically prescribed at a dose of 125 mg once daily for adults. The duration of treatment may vary depending on the type and severity of the infection but usually ranges from 2 to 12 weeks. It is essential to follow the healthcare provider’s instructions and complete the entire course of treatment, even if symptoms improve before finishing the medication.
Side Effects:
Common side effects of Lamisil may include gastrointestinal disturbances (nausea, diarrhea), headache, dizziness, or rash. Rare but serious side effects can involve liver issues, allergic reactions, or changes in taste. If you experience symptoms such as yellowing of the skin, dark urine, or severe skin reactions, contact your healthcare provider immediately.
