IMPORTANT NOTE:
The following information is intended to supplement, not substitute
for, the expertise and judgment of your physician, pharmacist
or other healthcare professional. It should not be construed
to indicate that use of the drug is safe, appropriate, or
effective for you. Consult your healthcare professional before
using this drug.
TERBINAFINE ORAL (ter-BIN-uh-feen)
COMMON BRAND NAME(S): Lamisil
USES: This is an antifungal
medication used to treat fungal infections of the fingernail
or toenail.
HOW TO USE: Take this by
mouth as directed usually once a day. Treatment may continue
for 6 weeks for a fingernail infection or 12 weeks for a toenail
infection. Another method of dosing involves using the drug
for one week per month until treatment is completed. Continue
to take this until the full prescribed amount is finished.
Stopping the medication too early may result in ineffective
treatment or a relapse of the infection.
SIDE EFFECTS: Headache, diarrhea,
gas, stomach upset, nausea or rash may occur. If any of these
effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor. You may experience
a temporary loss or change in taste sensation that will return
after the medication is stopped. Tell your doctor immediately
if these highly unlikely but very serious side effects occur:
easy bleeding or bruising, persistent sore throat, vision
changes, fever. Rarely, serious and possibly fatal liver disease
has occurred during oral terbinafine use. Immediately report
symptoms such as: dark urine, yellowing eyes/skin, extreme
fatigue, vomiting. In the unlikely event you have an allergic
reaction to this drug, seek immediate medical attention. Symptoms
of an allergic reaction include: rash, itching, swelling,
dizziness, trouble breathing. If you notice other effects
not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
PRECAUTIONS: Tell your doctor
your medical history, especially of: kidney disease, liver
disease, drug allergies. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant
before taking this drug. Because fungal toenail or fingernail
infection treatment generally should be postponed until after
pregnancy, discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor.
This drug is excreted into breast milk and therefore is not
recommended for use while breast-feeding. Consult with your
doctor before breast-feeding.
DRUG INTERACTIONS: Tell your
doctor of any nonprescription or prescription medication you
may take, including: rifampin, rifabutin, cyclosporine, warfarin,
cimetidine. Do not start or stop any medicine without doctor
or pharmacist approval.
OVERDOSE: If overdose is
suspected, contact your local poison control center or emergency
room immediately. Symptoms of overdose may include headache,
nausea, stomach pain, and dizziness.
NOTES: The fungal infection
may be cured within several weeks. However, the nail bed may
not appear healthy until it grows out completely over a few
months. If it does not improve or becomes worse with continued
therapy, notify your doctor. This medication is prescribed
for your current condition only. Do not use it for another
infection or share it with others. Another infection later
on may require a different medicine. Your doctor may periodically
perform lab tests during treatment to monitor your progress.
MISSED DOSE: If you miss
a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is near the
time of the next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your
usual dosing schedule. Do not "double-up" the dose
to catch up.
STORAGE: Store at room temperature
between 59 and 77 degrees F (15 to 25 degrees C) away from
heat and light as directed.
