Terbinafine
About Terbinafine
An allylamine antifungal medication. Terbinafine or Lamisil treats fungal nail infections and ringworm. For nail fungus, oral treatment involves a course lasting weeks to months. Terbinafine accumulates in nails and hair, providing prolonged protection. Complete cure rates for nail fungus remain modest even with oral treatment. Topical terbinafine is available over the counter for athletes foot and ringworm. Terbinafine is generally well tolerated but can rarely cause liver damage. It is one of the most effective treatments for fungal nail infections.
