A member asked:
I was on terbinafine for two weeks 250mg now i'm having pain in my sides. is liver damage common with only two weeks of terbinafine? i'm worried. sometimes i would double a dose if i missed a dose but never had history of liver problems before

See DR: Significant liver toxicity from terbinafine is rare. Your symptoms are probably something else. No harm from missed doses, no need to double dose. Why taking it? How long do you plan to continue? Do not take if you already have active hepatitis.
