A member asked:
Being prescribed lamisil (terbinafine) for toe fungus. i read somewhere it is possible to take 1 week on, 3 weeks off for 3 months instead of daily. is this true?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is one of the way: the medicine can be utilized in different ways for different ailments and conditions. Yes it can be taken as one week in and three weeks off for some of the infections. If your doctor has prescribed it certain way he/she must have a reason for that. You should consult and discuss it with your doctor.
