A member asked:
Do you need to get a liver function test before taking oral terbinafine if your only taking it for 10 days?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If no prior history of liver issues , then 10 days of Terbinafine is unlikely to cause any liver issues - thus, liver test prior to starting Terbinafine not necessary
