A member asked:
Are terbinafine tablets a good treatment for male thrush?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really.: Terbinafine is not approved for the treatment of thrush, but rather for onychomycosis and tinea capitis, caused by different fungi than the candida that causes thrush. Fluconazole, on the other hand, has good activity against candida, and is used commonly for thrush.
