Lamifil 250 mg Tablet

Lamifil 250 mg Tablet is an oral antifungal medicine that contains terbinafine 250 mg in each tablet. It belongs to the allylamine class and is used to treat certain fungal infections, especially infections of the nails and skin. This specific Lamifil 250 mg Tablet is taken by mouth and is prescribed when a doctor decides an oral antifungal is the right option. The 250 mg strength is a full-strength tablet and is commonly used in standard treatment regimens for adults.

How it works: Terbinafine in Lamifil 250 mg Tablet works by blocking an enzyme fungi need to make ergosterol, an important part of their cell membrane. Without that membrane support, the fungus cannot survive and the infection gradually clears as treatment continues.

Lamifil 250 mg Tablet is the standard oral strength of terbinafine, so each tablet delivers the full 250 mg dose used in many adult treatment plans. Because there are no other strengths or forms of this brand listed here, this product fits typical tablet dosing that a doctor chooses based on the infection being treated and the patient's health status.

• Fungal nail infections
• Ringworm infections
• Athlete's foot
• Jock itch
• Other dermatophyte skin infections when prescribed by a doctor

• Swallow Lamifil 250 mg Tablet whole with a glass of water.
• Take it at the same time each day if your doctor has prescribed daily use.
• It can usually be taken with or without food; take it with food if it upsets your stomach.
• Do not split, crush, or chew the tablet unless your pharmacist or doctor says it is safe to do so.
• Finish the full course even if the infection looks better before the tablets are gone.

Each Lamifil 250 mg Tablet provides 250 mg of terbinafine per tablet. How often you take it depends on the infection being treated; many adult regimens use one tablet once daily, but your doctor decides the exact schedule and duration. Do not take more than the amount your prescriber recommends, and never change the dose on your own.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
