Terbinafine is an antifungal agent. It works by preventing the formation of substances needed by the fungus to grow and develop, which causes weakness and death of the fungus.
Do NOT use Terbinafine if:
you are allergic to any ingredient in Terbinafine
Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
Before using Terbinafine :
Some medical conditions may interact with Terbinafine. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:

if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement
if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances
if you have liver disease, kidney disease, or lupus, or you have a history of alcohol abuse
Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Terbinafine. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:
Cimetidine because it may increase the risk of side effects from Terbinafine

Important safety information:
Alcohol use with Terbinafine may increase your risk of liver problems. Talk with your doctor about drinking alcohol with Terbinafine.
It is important to use Terbinafine for the full course of treatment. Failure to do so may decrease the effectiveness of Terbinafine and increase the risk that the fungus will no longer be sensitive to Terbinafine and will not be able to be treated by this or certain other antibiotics in the future.
If you experience persistent nausea, loss of appetite, fatigue, vomiting, right upper stomach pain, yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine, or pale stools, contact your doctor immediately. These could be signs of liver problems.
If a skin rash develops or worsens, stop using Terbinafine and contact your doctor immediately.

Can a huge dental abcess harm my unborn baby?
Im 14 weeks pregnant and had a rough pregnancy so far (high risk due to Extrachrionic Haemorrhage and 8 previous miscarriages) and ive been put on antibiotics (Amoxycillin 500mg) and have been on them for about 3 months due to a small abcess (was on the waiting list for a dentist) I have been allocated a dentist and went to see them last week where i got told (as i suspected) that i needed to have a tooth extracted, this should of been done tomorrow, However this morning i woke up this morning with a huge lump on the right hand side of my face (looks like im smuggling golf balls!!) the infection has clearly spread. I have been back to my dentist this morning who have said i need to have my gum slit to release the infection and still have the tooth extracted. Anyways my appointment isn't for another week and i was wondering if this is ok or will the infection spread and harm baby? I know this sounds silly to ask but i dont know if it can
Thanks people - The Amoxycillin has been prescribed by both my Doctor and Dentist. As for a Gynacologist though i dont have one. Am in UK and have a midwife who has said that the tablets are ok to take too
What will happen if i postpone my root canal?
I was experiencing a severe pain in my tooth and went to see a dentist. The dentist recommended me a root canal and gave me some pain killers and Amoxycillin capsules 500mg. But I want to do the root canal in my home town in two months. What are the consequences of postponing the root canal treatment? Thanks.
Sexual desire and cymbalta / anti-depressants?
I recently met up with my long-distance boyfriend; I find him immensely cute and definitely am attracted to him, but found I had zero sexual attraction. I've been extremely confused since it isn't an issue of him being unhealthy or ugly or dirty; I enjoyed cuddling, but things like kissing disgusted me and I was entirely surprised by my own reaction. We made out a few times and each time I felt no reaction at all and just wished he would stop, but felt so bad for him. Could this be a side effect of my anti depressant, cymbalta? I'm really hoping it isn't just him because I want to be with him but have no sexual desire. I know medicines can affect sex drive, but I didn't think to the extent of creating 0 sexual attraction to someone you like a lot and find physically attractive.
Seriously, why should I be proud of this for?
Ok, so I'm one of those less than intelligent people that decided that I would be gung ho and join the Marine Corps right out of high school at age 18. Seriously, why should I be proud of the fact that I served in the Marine Corps. No, I did not receive a bad conduct or dishonorable discharge from the Marine Corps and did indeed serve for my entire enlistment. The problem is the fact that I am ugly and women won't give me the time of day. Now, the reason that my last sentence is important is because of this. That is the fact that I haven't been able to get a job that pays a living wage since leaving the Marine Corps back in 2005. Even though I was an air wing Marine, companies like Boeing and Lockheed Martin won't consider me because I don't have a college degree. The only people that will hire me are b.s. minimum wage jobs such as Home Depot and Wally World. Since I am still single because I'm an ugly guy, I can't afford to live on my own on Home Depot pay and have been living as a roommate with my sis because I don't want to be one of those guys holding a "homeless veteran" sign. So now, I am in my sophmore year of college as an "old" 28 y/o, my car is tearing up due to high mileage, and now my sister wants to live on her own so I'm basically up s*it creek now. Also, I can't get back into the military now because I have been diagnosed with depression since leaving the Marine Corps and have to take anti-depressants. I didn't expect to be able to leave the Marine Corps and make six figures a year, but my God, my five years in the Marine Corps aren't even worth $25K/YR out here in the real world. I am no better off in the eyes of civilian employers than a recent high school graduate. I'm sorry, but I feel that my time spent in the Marine Corps was a complete waste of what could have been five good years of my life. I should have smoked some pot while I was in, popped positive on the urinalysis, and gotten out early with a BCD. At least then I could have gotten out early, got my pell grants and loans, would have had a college degree, and would have been working by now.

What is the difference between Zoloft and Effexor?
I know they are both anti-depressants, but what are some differences between Zoloft and Effexor XR? Do they treat exactly the same thing? Is one more effective than the other? Thank you.
