What is Lamisil (Terbinafine) used for?

This product is manufactured in Turkey.

Lamisil (Terbinafine) is an oral antifungal medication prescribed to treat a wide variety of infections caused by fungus. It operates by destroying or stopping the reproduction of fungus cells to allow the immune system to destroy the infection naturally. This action makes it useful for treating conditions such as ringworm, infections of the nails, athlete`s foot, tinea cruris, or skin infections. Your doctor may also prescribe it to treat other unlisted conditions.

How should I use Lamisil (Terbinafine)?

Strictly follow your doctor`s instructions while using Lamisil (Terbinafine) to get the safest and most effective results from treatment. One tablet is normally administered once daily for a cycle of medication lasting one or two weeks, but your particular dosage will be determined by your health condition and the severity of your symptoms. These should be swallowed with a large cup of water to aid absorption. Do not change the form of the tablets by crushing, splitting, or chewing them as this may destroy or alter the effects of their contents. Never stop taking the medicine before being told to do so, even if your symptoms seem to be gone, as the infection may not be be completely eliminated and may return stronger or more resistant to treatment. Ask your pharmacist or doctor if you have any questions about the medicine to ensure the correct application.
