Global Patient Feedback for Lamisil (Terbinafine)
Please see our forum guidelines.
Once again, as I have posted with other medications that I have taken, I shall attempt to put my two cents in. The best thing a patient can do is to ask their doctor three questions: 1. What side effects can this medication cause? 2. what potential interactions can it have with my other medications? 3. will the potential benefits outweigh the risks? If your doctor is unwilling to answer these questions, then it may be time to search for a new one. Also, even if the doctor does answer these questions, I would recommend getting a PDR, or going to RXList, and informing yourself. This is the best way to avoid problems with medications.

I am not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but I am running out of option. I have Psoriasis on my scalp, skin, an under my nails and toenails. I have taken the Terbinafine for 3 months and I use the Triamcinolone Acetonide Cream. I have been using the cream now for a year. I am not seeing any changes, except to the scalp, an that is hard to put the cream on because of my hair. I tried all the shampoo's, even the the one's by my doctor an no help. One thing I need to know is: Are you suppose to scrap the loose scales off, or let them fall off on there own? Which if you have psoriasis you know it is very ichy. And is there other things you can take or do to help with Psoriasis?

I am a 50 yr old male. I am 3 months into a 5 month treatment. No loss of taste or other side effects I can detect. I see the line in some of my nails as healthier growth is taking over.
