Description
Lamisil Tablets (active ingredient terbinafine hydrochloride) at 250mg are an antifungal medication used to treat various fungal infections, including onychomycosis (fungal nail infections) and other dermatological conditions such as tinea (ringworm). Terbinafine works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, a crucial component of fungal cell membranes, leading to the death of the fungi. The 250mg dosage is typically prescribed for more severe infections or cases that require a higher treatment intensity.
Dosage/Direction:
The recommended dosage for Lamisil Tablets 250mg is usually one tablet taken once daily for adults, with a treatment duration that can vary depending on the type and severity of the infection. For onychomycosis, treatment may range from 6 to 12 weeks. Always follow the healthcare provider’s guidelines and complete the full course of treatment, even if symptoms resolve early.
Side Effects:
Common side effects of Lamisil may include gastrointestinal discomfort (nausea, diarrhea), headache, dizziness, and skin rash. Rare but serious side effects can occur, including liver problems, severe allergic reactions, or changes in the sense of taste. If symptoms like jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes), dark urine, or severe skin reactions occur, seek medical attention immediately.
