Lamisil Side Effects

Picture of Nail Fungus left untreated

A few site visitors have written in to ask us about some concerns they add regarding Lamisil. Here is one question we recently received along with an answer from one of the medical professionals who volunteers his time to help us provide sound advice and information.
Question:

Recently my fingernail fungus was getting worse. My nails were turning black and flaking off. I was desperate to find a treatment that would get rid of the discoloration and odor coming from my nails. My doctor prescribed me a very expensive medicine called Lamisil. I started developing some other problems and was concerned if it might be linked to this treatment or whether it might be another medication I had been taking. Can you tell me about the side effects of Lamisil tablets? Is it really effective for my nail fungus or should I discontinue because of the Lamisil side effects?

Answer:

I cannot tell you for sure which medicine may have caused these additional health problems. Different prescription medications tend to create their own side effects. There are various side effects of Lamisil tablets. In rare cases, Lamisil side effects include liver failure and death – most often with people who already have liver problems. It has been recommended by the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) that your liver function should be monitored by the physician who prescribes you this treatment through testing your blood. Other side effects of Lamisil tablets include mild diarrhea, headaches, indigestion and rash. I cannot tell you what effect Lamisil has on children because no studies have been conducted.

Alternative treatments include other prescription medications, such as Itraconazole marketed by Janssen as Sporanox. An over-the-counter solution is Fungisil. In severe cases, treatment includes removal of the nail, but this is one of the last treatments sought because of the difficulty and pain involved. Overall, my recommendation is to try and avoid infection to begin with by keeping your nails trimmed short and maintain clean hands and feet.

Listed below is a recent proof we received for Fungisil, a product that is reviewed on this web site as an effective cure for toenail fungus.

I first became aware of my condition when I noticed that the nail on my second toe next to my big toe had turned a very dark color. I was not sure what was wrong with it. My toe nail stayed like this for months. It was difficult to cut so I finally decided to see my doctor about it. He said it was a nail fungus.

When we were discussing the various treatments that are available, he cautioned me that Lamisil tablets may not be good for me because tests indicated that I may have liver problems, which can be detrimental. Instead, he recommended that I try Fungisil because it has no side effects. I can happily say that I had no problems with taking Fungisil and I feel great because the infection has cleared up. I think I’m confident enough to show my feet off again by wearing sandals. I wanted your other site visitors to know just how great Fungisil was so they can feel better like me.
