A member asked:
I'm having oral terbinafine. now, i'm advised not to go outside during daytime. because terbinafine makes skin more sensitive to sun. if i stop taking this medication today, will i be able to go outside during daytime tomorrow?i've already stopped it?

Terbinafine can take up to a week to be totally removed from the system. Since it is a lipophilic medication, it may remain in some fat cells for longer. Make sure you wear long sleeve, covering clothes and sunscreen for at least several weeks.
