For treating ringworm of the scalp (tinea capitis), your child's doc would be the best person tol calculate the appropriate Lamisil dose based on the child's weight. For this type of infection, Lamisil is usually taken for six weeks. Only Lamisil oral granules (not tablets) are approved for this use.
Take care, best wishes!

Sorry Lara, I think we replied the question almost at the same time, did not want to contradict your statement.
You certainly gave the better answer RG! I always stay on the side of caution!! (plus, I didn't even SEE ringworm in the question!! I need to be more awake before I answer!)
