Terbinafine is used to treat fungal infections of the toenail
and fingernail. Terbinafine is in a class of medications called
antifungals. It works by stopping the growth of fungi.
OTHER USES: This medication may be prescribed for other uses;
ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
Posologia e
Somminitrazione
Terbinafine comes as a tablet to take by mouth.
It is usually taken once a day for 6 weeks for fingernail fungus
and once a day for 12 weeks for toenail fungus. Follow the
directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your
doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand.
Take terbinafine exactly as directed. Do not take more or less
of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor.
Your fungus may not be completely cured until a few months after
you finish taking terbinafine. This is because it takes time for
a healthy nail to grow in.
