Online Lamisil /Terbinafine Use Indication:
Take Lamisil by mouth as directed usually once a day. Treatment may
continue for 6 weeks for a fingernail infection or 12 weeks for
a toenail infection. Another method of dosing involves using the
drug for one week per month until treatment is completed.
Continue to take Lamisil until the full prescribed amount is
finished. Stopping the medication too early may result in
ineffective treatment or a relapse of the infection.

diarrhea, gas, stomach upset, nausea or rash may occur. If any
of these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor. You may
experience a temporary loss or change in taste sensation that
will return after Lamisil medication is stopped. Tell your doctor
immediately if these highly unlikely but very serious side
effects occur: easy bleeding or bruising, persistent sore
throat, vision changes, fever. Rarely, serious and possibly
fatal liver disease has occurred during oral terbinafine use.
