"So my doctor prescribed me this medicine (terbinafine) for 1 month and 2 weeks, and it worked like a charm. I was surprised I had no side effect symptoms. I am decently healthy, and so when I first noticed the nail infection, I thought my infection would be gone after a while, but after almost 1 year of leaving it there, it never disappeared. So I told my doctor about it and started on the terbinafine, and ever since, my nail is almost fully grown (needing the white tip of the nail), looking very normal."

"I wrote a review before, giving this 10 stars. Now I'm giving it 5 stars. My first round of terbinafine was for 4 months, and my fingernails cleared up, and I thought we were good. About 10 months later, my fingernails started detaching, and my dermatologist said it's the fungus recurring. So we did a second round of terbinafine for 3 months. It has been about 6 months since I completed the second round of terbinafine, and my nails look clear, but I painted them a few weeks ago, and the nails started detaching again. I disinfect all my fingernail utensils before and after use and have gotten rid of any bottles of polish that could have been contaminated. This makes me think the infection just isn't going away completely. It's really bumming me out. It was nice having fingernails again while it lasted :("

"I have a question. My 2 big toenails, the tips were yellow, and now, 8 months later, 3 other toes have gone yellow, and my thumb has gone yellow too. Will be showing a dermatologist on Monday. For those who have had a fungal infection of the fingernails, how do you stop it from spreading to the other fingernails and hands, face, scalp, and other parts of the body?"

"I'd used terbinafine [Lamisil] for a toenail fungus about three years ago. The only side effect I experienced was a slight case of nausea. So, when I noticed that my thumbnail had developed a fungus, it was a no-brainer. A blood test was done prior to taking this medication to make sure my liver was in good shape before starting the 12-week course of therapy. Four weeks into treatment, I had an MRI for an unrelated condition. In the MRI report, the radiologist noted that there seemed to be a liver issue and questioned the 'possibility of hepatomegaly.' In plain old English, that means an enlarged liver. I spoke with my doctor about it and was told that it was a possible side effect and would most likely resolve itself once the course of treatment was completed. A follow-up blood test will be performed for liver function and/or any other anomalies. While rare, please be aware terbinafine [Lamisil] can cause liver damage before beginning treatment."

Terbinafine "This is my second time using Lamisil. No problems the first time. Within the first 5 days, I developed a progressive rash-starting on my feet, then legs, arms, and trunk. Discontinued after day 13."
