A member asked:
I have white lines on my nails. how long does this effect from the antibiotics last?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Could be months.: What antibiotics are you taking that would cause white lines? Having said that, if the lines are in the nail and not the bed, it could take at least 4 months for the finger nail and 6 months for the toenails.
