LAMISIL ORAL USES
This is an antifungal medication used to treat fungal infections
of the fingernail or toenail.
HOW TO USE LAMISIL ORAL
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.
LAMISIL ORAL 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.
LAMISIL ORAL 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.
LAMISIL ORAL 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.
LAMISIL ORAL 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.
LAMISIL ORAL 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.
LAMISIL ORAL STORAGE
Store at room temperature between 59 and 77 degrees F (15
to 25 degrees C) away from heat and light as directed.
