Common Questions and Answers about Lamisil oral pills

lamisil

Avatar m tn lamisil as in the foot cream?
Avatar n tn If not what are the causes? How can it be treated topically without any oral pills? My hand finger nail hurts so much. I keep trimming it and it keeps growing hard and it looks ugly too. Please help.
Avatar n tn Anyway, the ketoconazole seemed to get rid of everything in about 2 days (hydrocortisone made it worse, so I stopped using it), but I continued to use lamisil after the pills to make sure. After 3 weeks and still using lamisil, it started to flare up again. So what do I do? Any thoughts? I have been very diligent about treating this but with no luck. I have stopped using everything except powder thinking maybe I was just irritating it, but three days and it is still there.
Avatar f tn It is used to treat infections caused by fungus that affect the fingernails or toenails. Lamisil oral granules are used to treat a fungal infection of scalp hair follicles in children who are at least 4 years old. It is important to take this medication exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not take it in larger amounts or for longer than recommended.
Avatar m tn I too have toenail infection for years, was not doing anything about it because of the posible liver damage. GP sent me to dermatologist who urged me to take lamisil pill & lamisil cream. He did NOT prescribe monthly blood tests. A substitute Dr caught that one! I was on the stuff for 6 months...noticed legs and feet were yellowing. Went to new Dr, took me off lamisil immediatley and ordered tests (fecal occult and blood) . Right now she's called me back after receiving test results....
Avatar m tn I had unprotected oral sex with a person 2 days ago where i was receiving. I woke up 5 hours later to a rash of small red bumps on the head of my penis and inside my foreskin. Also, on the tip of my penis i have what looks like a white patch. Any ideas? I have no fever and as far as i can tell no swelling. The bumps are not itchy. I am currently applying Lamisil Spray( terbinfine) hoping it is a yeast infection. Any ideas?
Avatar n tn I asked them if I could take the lamisil oral medication anyway and whether it could do me bad (in case of pityriasis rosea) and they said no problem. I am still confused and I would like some advice and maybe information on specific differences I could notice between the two different rashes.
Avatar f tn Hi and sorry you have these problems. We are not doctors on these sites but I am a microbiologist and understand your situation. Have you taken a lot of anti-fungal medication and if so what types? Also have you taken antibiotics before you got C-diff? I assume since you are taking probiotics because you know that getting your intestinal bacteria out of whack can promote getting C. diff.
Avatar m tn 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?
Avatar f tn Oral medication such as terbinfine (brand names are Lamisil and Terbinex) are supposed to be effective. These are pills you take and not a cream like you've been using. Your doctor should be able to prescribe that? I'd ask them to. https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/drugs/19379-terbinafine-tablets Here's some home remedies to try. https://www.healthline.com/health/home-remedies-for-toenail-fungus Tree Tea oil is very popular, for example.
Avatar n tn My son is a competitive wrestler and picked up tinea corporis and tinea capitis about five weeks ago. Lamisil reduced, but couldn't completely clear the tinea corporis, so his pediatrician prescribed econzole nitrate cream which has pretty much killed it. However, the tinea capitis which started at his scalp line has migrated into his hair. Our pediatrician didn't feel comfortable prescribing oral medication, so we went to a dermatologist who gave him Griseofulvin.
Avatar m tn I did get oral sex from my wifer the night befor i went to the lake but she is clean, no new sex partners for either of us for 10 years. She just had a baby 6 months ago and was tested for allot of stuff, all negative. We are both clean cut! I also have mildley painfull urination.
Avatar f tn I went to the doctor and was told I had nail fungus and needed Lamisil. One tablet, once a day for 3 months. They took and ran tests of my blood to test my liver and they said all tests came back normal. They went ahead and said to begin taking the medication. I'm 21 and relatively healthy. I'm afraid to take Lamisil though. I've heard the side effects are horrible. Should I be worried?
Avatar f tn It spread to the finger next to it. Doctor put me on lamisil tablets 250 mg. I have been on the medication for 11 days and it does not appear to be helping. The fungus has spread to other parts of my hand and even to the other hand. I called the doctor's office and nurse told me to give it 2 weeks. I can understand taking 2 weeks before seeing positive results but should the fungus be spreading during the first 11 days while on the medication?
Avatar n tn I already had toe nail fungus and took lamisil for 90 days, then was diagnosed with versicolor, took 2 different sets of pills for two months and used some spray, then everything was okay. Now I have red marks (versicolor) again on my stomach and I am starting to wonder if i have more fungus on my legs and arms because my hair breaks and i have pimple like things on my arms and legs (look like ingrowns) and I also am losing more hair than normal and I have a patch of hair that is missing...
Avatar n tn I had a fungal infection on 4 of my toenails. I treated them with oral Lamisil starting about 9 months ago. Two nails have been growing, one has grown completely out, the other two haven't seem to grown at all. Do I have any other options? Is it possible they are permanently damaged?
Avatar m tn So, I made a trip to CVS and bought some Lamisil. Well, it was awesome. I put on the cream and the itching went away, and flakyness went away too, but not the redness. Lamisil says only to use it for one week. But once I stopped, all the symptoms came back. So, I decided to disobey the directions and began to use it twice a day -- now for almost 3 months. Here is what is happening now. There is no more itching, nor more flaking (unless I stop for a day...
Avatar m tn She performed oral (no condom), then intercourse with condom. About a week later I noticed a red itchy patch on my scrotum. I also have pimple like bumps, which have always been there, but now some are itchy on penis and scrotum. I am also itchy on undercarriage and inner thigh. I used Canesten for jock itch for 2 wks with no luck. I'm now on Lamisil but starting to worry. The girl said she was checked for STDs recently and all negative.
Avatar f tn m hoping for opinions concerning a new drug my dermatologist has added. Prescribed Lamisil 250 mg for 24 wks, (oral). He is drawing liver profile labs every month. I guess I'm alittle worried since I just got rid of the virus in January, an this med. can possibly be rough on the liver. I have an extremely painful case of fungal nails for years. I'm not that vain, an would let them remove the nails permanently, but dr.
Avatar f tn You can consult a pharmacist and get any cream or lotion containing these ingredients. Some of them are Lamisil, Monistat derm, Mycelex, and Nizoral. Also wear cotton clothes and change the clothes twice. If the symptoms persist then oral antifungals may be needed. 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.
Avatar m tn Since then I have had oral and vaginal infections. My doctor always prescribes terbafine (lamisil).
1087566 tn?1282448730 Hello, From the symptoms it is very difficult to confirm anything but it can be ringworm or pityriasis rosea. In pityriasis rosea initially, a primary plaque, called a herald patch, is seen. Then it is followed by a distinctive, generalized rash 1-2 weeks later. The rash lasts approximately 2-6 weeks and is found in a Christmas tree pattern over the trunk and abdomen.
Avatar n tn I have been diagnose with a skin fungus infection (dermamytocosis) and the dermatologist has prescribed Lamisil (terbinafine hydrochloride) very strong tablets with quite a few side effects. I would like to try natural alternatives like apple cider vinegar but could the infection spread out or perhaps can resolved by itself over time. Will I be prone to get fungus infections in the future?
Avatar m tn Hello, Treatment of fungal infections involves topical and oral antifungal medicines. Most cases of fungal infections respond to over-the-counter products, which contain any of several basic ingredients: miconazole, tolnaftate, terbinafine,ketaconazole and clotrimazole.You can consult a pharmacist and get any cream or lotion containing these ingredients. Some of them are Lamisil, Monistat derm, Mycelex, and Nizoral. Also wear cotton clothes and try to keep the area as dry as possible.
Avatar m tn As I understand Lamisil is an antifungal cream. If you do not have a fungal problem, the Lamisil is not going to be doing anything. Natural yogurt for bruising and inflammation will help. It is a good idea for you to be examined by your doctor so that you can get the correct diagnosis. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
