Common Questions and Answers about Does terbinafine work

You may have a yeast infection but it may be resistant strain to the medicines they have in the stores. See if they have one without Azole at the end. If they have a vaginal Terbinafine that would work (but if it is only for athletes foot don't use it). Otherwise you will have to get a culture done from the doctor to see what it is.
Hello, everyone.
I have had a rash on my chin (see picture) for about 5 months now. It started out on the right side of my chin. It would come and go randomly without treatment. About a year ago I had some seborrheic dermatitis around my nose and the derm prescribed me Ertaczo (an anti-fungal). That cleared up the rash right away. I went to my primary physician and showed him the rash on my chin mentioning that it looked similar to the rash I originally had around my nose.
The main findings were that for reduced fungus, terbinafine was found to be significantly better than itraconazole and griseofulvin, and terbinafine was better tolerated than itraconazole.

What you have read is correct. You could discuss this finding with your doctor and get him to prescribe it for you. Since the treatment is long-term it is better to go with onr which is tolerated better by the body.
4 years ago a rash has appeared on my right back like eczema or dermatophytosis with rings. My dermatologist thinked it was eczema so I have taken diprosone cream. It didn't work and the rash has spread : face, arms, back. My dermatologist gave me Lamisil cream with oral terbinafine during 2 weeks. My rash has almost disappeared. It came back 1 month after taking terbinafine. I have done a mycological examination 1 month after taking terbinafine but it was negative.
Does anybody who knows anything about medicine have any advice on this?
I am desperate for a G&T, after not having one sip of alcohol for 3 weeks!
The medicines I have used are, Clotrimazole, Ketocnazole, Terbinafine and oral Terbinafine. The medicine didn’t work so I was sent to the hospital to the dermatology department, they took a scrape test to see if it is a fungal infection. The doctor there had prescribed me with Canesten HC, which contains Clotrimazole and Hydrocortisone, just to use on the red raised patch around. I am using this medicine but can not see any improvements.
Any OTC (OVER THE COUNTER) anti fungal cream Lamasil is the best.
Have you been to a doctor about the issue? Did a fungal treatment work previous to the last three months?
Did this course thrice but it comes back every time. Tried terbinafine also but dint work much.
miconazole, tolnaftate, terbinafine,ketaconazole and clotrimazole.You can consult a pharmacist and get any cream or lotion containing these ingredients.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
Immediately I started applying Lamisil (terbinafine) every morning till today. All the redness and everything else is gone, but if I look at the skin from the side, I can still see the "circles" (in slightly different skin tone) where the fungi was located... does it mean that I'll have to keep on applying the cream for longer till I don't see those circles?
Here is a post from MedHelp that may help you. You may have to use the Ketoconazole shampoo for a long time ( such as 6 weeks for it to work). Some fungi are resistant to it so you may want to try Terbinafine shampoo or pills. But I would read some of the posts below. They may be helpful.

Ive had 2 biopsy not cancer. Dr thinking fungus . I was on antibiotics and am currently taking Terbinafine 250mg and Ketoconazole 200mg pill and cream and wash . I recently had a tooth pulled and gum filled with puss. maybe that was hindering my healing. so frustrated and worried.
that contained either miconazole,tolnaftate,terbinafine,ketaconazole or clotrimazole. My pharmicist recommended clotrimazole as the best of those five and it IS working. The red rash has faded to practically clear,no itching at all. It's inexpensive and has taken only about two weeks to this point. It may work in your case as well.
I am overweight but losing weight at the rate of about 1 pound a week. All of my blood work is within normal range except for my ALP and ALT. My ALP is 124 and my ALT is 45. My ALT has doubled in the last 6 months and my ALP has risen 20 points. I was taking Terbinafine and my dosage was one pill a day for 7 days each quarter. So a week in Nov, Feb, Mar, and finished in Aug 2017. Then my blood work was in Oct 2017.
I have used terbinafine cream for a week and my fungal infection almost went away.but after a week i started oral fluconazole with terbinafine cream.after few days again some fungal infection came...is it the side effect of fluconazole. ???
I went to my doctor earlier this week and was prescribed terbinafine for a possible yeast infection, and cipro for a potential UTI. After 4 days of both, I’m still not feeling any much relief. Is it possible that I’m on a wrong antibiotic? Trying to self medicate, I’m reading that doxycycline might be more appropriate? My doctor won’t refer me to a urologist because my recent UA came back clean, so I’m wondering how long I wait before caving in and going to urgent care?
My husband and I going through the exact same thing. I've had about 20ish spots all over my body, that seems to fade but not entirely go away (For a month and a week, going on two weeks) Although I started Oral Meds late, I'm on day 6 of Terbinafine. I've been taking it day by day. Who would have thought Ringworm would suck so bad :(. We ended up getting it from 2 rescue kittens. They seem to kind of fade, but I can still see them.
