Medical Overview
Lamisil is listed as Dermatology containing Terbinafine. A dermatology medicine used on the skin or by mouth depending on the active ingredient.
Lamisil (terbinafine) is the dermatophyte assassin — 1-week cream courses for athlete’s foot and the world’s first-line oral for nail fungus (6-12 weeks, drug persists in the nail for months). Oral quirks: temporary taste loss, mandatory baseline liver enzymes (rare serious hepatotoxicity), CYP2D6 inhibition (tamoxifen, tricyclics). Judge nail success at regrowth (6-12 months), not course end.
