Why is DASKIL (Lamisil, Terbinafine) prescribed?
DASKIL (Lamisil, Terbinafine) fights fungal infections. In tablet form, it's used for fungus
of the toenail or fingernail. The cream and the solution are used for
other fungal infections such as athlete's foot, jock itch, and ringworm.
The solution is also used to treat tinea versicolor, a fungal infection
that produces brown, tan, or white spots on the trunk of the body.
Most important fact about DASKIL (Lamisil, Terbinafine)
DASKIL (Lamisil, Terbinafine) does not produce instant results. You won't see the full effect
of the tablets for several months, until a healthy new nail has grown
out. The cream and solution also work gradually. It usually takes a
week for results to appear, and improvement often continues for 2 to
6 weeks after treatment has stopped. However, if you see no change
at all after a full week of applying the cream or solution, notify
your doctor. The problem may be other than fungal.

with dressings unless directed by your doctor.

even if your symptoms begin to improve.
