What Are The Side Effects Of Taking Terbinafine For Toenail Fungus?

My 16 year old daughter has been prescribed to take Terbinafine to clear up toenail fungus on 4 toes. I am afraid to give it to her after reading all the side effects. We have tried 2 different over the counter fungus removers, but they didn t work. I was wondering if there were other treatments that didn t have such horrible side effects.

Hello,
I think you are more concerned regarding the fatal side effects of terbinafine.
These side effects are rare and for your information every drug has side effects but it does not occur in everyone.
Still if you want an alternative for terbinafine, you can take itraconazole for toenail fingus infection.
Hope this helps you.
Thank you.
