A member asked:

Hello i have tinea cruis (jock itch) in groin area. i would like to know taking terbanfine (lamilsil) 250 mg for entire 1 month will cause any hair loss? please advice?

Terbinafine: One of the side affects of terbinafine is hair loss. Stopping the medicine will usually stop the hair loss. Discuss with your doctor. If you have not started to take this yet, this is a rather rare side effect.
