When deciding whether to take any medicine, one should evaluate the dangers of using the drug against the positive effects it could bring. This is a choice that both you and your doctor make. To determine the appropriate medicine, it is essential to take the following into taken into consideration:
Allergies
Discuss with your physician whether you’ve had an unusual or allergic reaction to this medication or other medications. Be sure to inform your health doctor if you suffer from allergies, such as dyes, foods or preservatives. You may also be allergic to animals. For products that are not prescription-only, you must review the label or the ingredient list carefully.
Pediatric
Appropriate studies have not been conducted to determine the relationship between age and the effects of oral terbinafine granules in children less than 4 years old who suffer from fungal infections on the scalp. Safety and efficacy haven’t been proven.
Studies of the appropriate nature have not been conducted to determine the connection between age and the effects of tablets containing Terbinafine in children suffering from nail fungal infections and toenails. The efficacy and safety of the tablets haven’t been proven.
Geriatric
Studies that are appropriate to study the relationship between age and the effects of terbinafine oral granules have not been conducted in the population of geriatrics. Safety and efficacy haven’t been proven.
The studies have not revealed the existence of geriatric-specific issues that restrict the use of tablets containing Terbinafine in the older. However, older patients tend to suffer from age-related kidney, liver or heart conditions which could warrant cautiousness when taking pills of Terbinafine.
Breastfeeding
