Terbinafine

How Does Terbinafine Work?

Terbinafine hydrochloride, also known as the brand Lamisil is an antifungal treatment used to treat fungal nail infections on the fingernails and toenails. Terbinafine tablets are proven to be more effective than over-the-counter (GSL) topical creams and solutions at treating fungal nail infections.

Terbinafine works by directly destroying the infected cells and clearing the infection.
