Question 2

i'm worried about the side effects from taking lamisil (terbinafine) for skin fungus. how can i avoid them?

Accepted Answer

2 weeks treatment: The usual treatment for skin fungal infection with Lamisil (terbinafine) is 2 weeks. Unless you are at a high risk for complications from other comorbidities, the use of Lamisil (terbinafine) for 2 weeks is very safe.
However, there are some very effective topical medications that may get the job done without the pills.

Question 3

is oral lamisil (terbinafine) worth taking despite the possible side effects?  what's the worst that could happen if i don't treat my toenail fungus?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Untreated toenail fungus often leads to thickened, disfigured and discolored toenails. Occasionally, toenail fungus can also lead to pain.  Whether or not one takes the oral Lamisil (terbinafine) depends on one's acceptance to risk of possible liver damage.  One's doctor should be monitoring the liver function closely through blood tests.  Have this frank discussion with your physician.

No wait at all: Contrary to popular beliefs, almost no antibiotics interact with alcohol. Heavy alcohol impairs the immune system's ability to fight infection, but alcohol in moderation makes no difference. You can start the Lamisil whenever you wish.

No reason: There is no reason why you can't have 1-2 drinks when taking Lamisil .

Question 7

i have been using lamisil (terbinafine) anti fungal tablets, i'm concerned they may have effected my liver. since taking this medicine i can't handle alcohol at all?

See a doctor: Without an exam and labs cannot possibly diagnose.  You should go and be seen by the doctor who prescribed the lamisil (terbinafine).

Question 8

does lamisil (terbinafine) create rashes on body? i have been taking it after i came back from ecuador. i also take seroquel and sometimes alcohol

Accepted Answer

Rash: It would be rash to try and diagnose a cutaneous eruption without seeing it. Yours sounds like it may either be a contact dermatitis or an allergic reaction, but there are several diseases endemic to South America which can produce lesions of this nature. Would strongly suggest that you find an infectious diseases expert to see you. Bring along a full list of all sites of travel, contacts, animals

Question 9

can you drink alcohol while taking lamisil (terbinafine) tablets once a day for 30 days for tinea versicolor?

Accepted Answer

See a dermatologist: Lamasil is not the best treatment for tv. Better to take a single dose of fluconazole, possibly repeated a week later. Get otc Clotrimazole or Miconazole cream ($5 or $10) & start rubbing in. Get otc selsun blue or head & shoulders shampoo, wash entire body in shower every day for 10-20 years as tv likes you & will return.
