Does Caffeine Restricts The Effectiveness Of The Terbinafine?

I m taking terbinafine and I want to know why I shouldn t drink coffee? I d like to continue coffee, though I understand terbinafine might increase the jitteriness factor (so I will drink less), but I want to know if coffee restricts the effectiveness of the terbinafine? Thank you! Johnny

Hi,

No, caffeine is not going to restrict the effect of terbinafine. There are no interactions between the two, so you may use it safely and taking your coffee routinely.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
