Drug Uses
Lamisil Tablets are indicated for the treatment of onychomycosis
of the toenail or fingernail due to dermatophytes.
How Taken
Lamisil comes as a tablet to take orally. It is usually taken
once a day for 6 weeks for fingernail fungus and once a day
for 12 weeks for toenail fungus. Take Lamisil exactly as directed.
Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than
prescribed by your doctor. Your fungus may not be completely
cured until a few months after you finish taking Lamisil.
This is because it takes time for a healthy nail to grow in.
Warnings/Precautions
Do not take Lamisil without first talking to your doctor if
you have ever had an allergic reaction to it, liver disease,
kidney disease, problems with your immune system, or blood
problems. You may not be able to take Lamisil, or you may
require a dosage adjustment or special monitoring if you have
any of the conditions listed above. Lamisil is in the FDA
pregnancy category B. This means that it is not expected to
harm an unborn baby. Do not take Lamisil without first talking
to your doctor if you are pregnant. Lamisil passes into breast
milk and may affect a nursing baby. Do not take this medication
without first talking to your doctor if you are breast-feeding
a baby.
Missed Dose
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. However, if
it is almost time for the next regularly scheduled dose, skip
the missed dose and take the next one as directed. Do not
take a double dose of this medication.
Possible Side Effects
If you experience any of the following serious side effects,
stop taking Lamisil and seek emergency medical attention:
an allergic reaction (difficulty breathing; closing of your
throat; swelling of your lips, tongue, or face; or hives);
a rash; changes in vision; or blood problems (detected by
blood tests). In rare cases, Lamisil has caused severe liver
damage, sometimes resulting in liver transplant or death.
Notify your doctor immediately if you develop nausea, vomiting,
abdominal pain, unusual fatigue, loss of appetite, yellow
skin or eyes, itching, dark urine, or clay colored stools.
These symptoms may be early signs of liver damage. Other,
less serious side effects may be more likely to occur. Continue
to take Lamisil and talk to your doctor if you experience
nausea, upset stomach, or heartburn; diarrhea or flatulence;
headache; or taste disturbances or a loss of taste. Side effects
other than those listed here may also occur. Talk to your
doctor about any side effect that seems unusual or that is
especially bothersome.
Storage
Store tablets below 25o C (77o F); in a tight container. Protect
from light.
Overdose
Clinical experience regarding overdose with Lamisil Tablets
is limited. The symptoms of overdose included nausea, vomiting,
abdominal pain, dizziness, rash, frequent urination, and headache.
