What are Terbinafine tablets?
Terbinafine are antifungal tablets that contain an active ingredient called terbinafine. This attacks the source of fungal nail infections to reduce symptoms and treat infection. The tablets are small and easy to swallow, and a normal course for fungal nail infections can last for a few months.
Terbinafine tablets are also available under the brand name Lamisil. The main difference between Terbinafine and Lamisil is the branding: Terbinafine is a generic treatment and is made by several companies, while Lamisil is a branded tablet made by just one company.
How does Terbinafine work?
Fungal nail infections happen when yeast or mould from the environment enter small cracks in the skin around your nail.[1]
This fungus is strengthened by chemicals called sterols. Sterols hold the membrane of the fungi together so that it can grow.
Terbinafine attacks sterols and prevents them from strengthening the fungi. Without the sterols the infection membranes breakdown and the infection is killed. [2]
What doses of Terbinafine tablets are there?
Terbinafine comes in a single dosage size – 250mg. You can take it as a daily course, or as something called ‘pulsed therapy’, where you’ll take it for one week at the start of every month but at a higher dose.
Terbinafine is also available as a cream, gel and spray, and your clinician may suggest a short combined course of tablets and cream.

How to take Terbinafine tablets
There are two ways to take Terbinafine tablets. Your clinician will advise you about the best treatment plan for you. Daily
- Terbinafine tablets are usually taken once a day.
- Depending on the severity of infection, the course of treatment can last between two weeks and six months.
- Swallow your tablet whole with water and take it at the same time each day.
Pulsed
- Two tablets are taken each day for seven days, followed by 21 days off.
- This is then repeated for two to three months.
- Swallow your tablet whole with water and take it at the same time on the days you take it.
How long does it take Terbinafine to work?
If taken daily, terbinafine tablets take from two weeks to six months to work. Your treatment time will depend on the severity of your infection. Our clinician will tell you how long to take the tablets for. For pulsed treatment, the tablets are usually taken for three months. You may need to take them for longer if your infection does not go away.
What should I do if I make a mistake when taking Terbinafine?
Let our clinician know if you forget to take Terbinafine. The best way to avoid making a mistake when taking Terbinafine tablets is to take the tablets at the same time every day. If you forget to take your tablet you should take the missed tablet as soon as you remember. You shouldn’t take two tablets at the same time to make up for the forgotten one as this can increase the risk of side effects. If it’s nearly time to take your next tablet, simply skip the one you missed, and carry on as normal from your next tablet.

Treatment long standing toe nail infection
Not only had my toe nails been affected but I had cracking heels.Within a short period the hard skin has dissapeared from heels. Toe nails grow slowly so eight months in not fully grown out. So if a bad infection like mine then 12 months is needed. I have had no major reaction to the doses so am happy to keep taking the couarse of tablets.
Takes time but does the job
Definitely works but I have had to have three months of treatment so far and probably need one more month to clear it completely. It's also expensive due to the supply issues. Would be great if you. Could get this through your GP
Good stuff
Taking a long time to clear as stated it may do but is working. Treated excellent to deal with after confusion around price of treatment. Much appreciated.
Great meds
Great meds, but the latest prescription payment was over £70!!! So I will visit my GP instead.
fungal nail
Treatment takes a long time but it was what I expected. There's still a little time to go but the new nail growth looks clear and healthy.
