Is The Prescription Of Terbinafine Tablets For Toenail Infection And Rashes On Body Right?

I have been prescribed terbinafine tablets for toe nail infection. 5 weeks into taking the I woke to by body being covered in a rash. It says a rash could be a side effect of the tablets. I don t want to particularly stop taking them but thought I would continue and monitor if the rash worsens or becomes uncomfortable especially as the toe is painful and it is nigh on impossible to get a doctors appointment outside work hours and being self employed and risk of permanent loss of customers if appointments have to be cancelled I cannot attend during the day even then it can be a week or more wait.

Hello,
Terbinafine hydrochloride is not suitable for everyone and some people should never use it. Other people should only use it with special care. It is important that the person prescribing this medicine knows your full medical history.

Your prescriber may only prescribe this medicine with special care or may not prescribe it at all if you are allergic or sensitive to or have had a reaction to any of the ingredients in the medicine.
Skin rash or rashes - if your skin rash spreads you should stop taking Terbinafine hydrochloride and seek medical advice.
