My family Doc noticed my ugly, thick, yellow toenails during a routine physical. He asked me if I would mind taking a Lamisil tablet once daily for one month to have normal nails again. I was ecstatic, hoping that I could once again wear sandals in public. After finishing the meds, I noticed that my toenails were changing back to normal.

My family Doc noticed my ugly, thick, yellow toenails during a routine physical. He asked me if I would mind taking a Lamisil tablet once daily for one month to have normal nails again. I was ecstatic, hoping that I could once again wear sandals in public. After finishing the meds, I noticed that my toenails were changing back to normal. Today they are the same as when I was a teenager! But wait, there's more! The industrial strength ringworm that I picked up during the Vietnam war also disappeared completely...it had irritated me for many years, especially during the hot summer months. Additionally, thick callouses on my feet and heels disappeared! And I have not had a case of athletes foot since finishing the treatment either! In conclusion, Lamisil is an incredible miracle drug that rids the body of all fungus induced issues that, while not life threatening, are incredibly irritating. Take the pills and rid yourself of the cause.....don't buy creams, salves, and powders that only treat the symptoms!

After 2 weeks of taking generic Lamisil, I developed an allergic reaction- a red, itchy, bumpy, skin rash on my chest, back, and neck. I stopped the medicine and was prescribed a steroid cream to control the rash. So, needless to say I will have to live with this fungus on my big toenail forever. My dermatologist did say that my only hope was to continuously apply Vick's Vaporub on my toe 2-3x ... Show Full Comment

Took for 2 months until blood tests shows it caused liver damage. Stopped immediately. Not worth it!

Took for 3 months. Noticed results in one week!! Had no side effects either. Nails not quite ready for sandals but it is December so I can wait. Using Vicks vapor in on top of nails and it seems to help ward off re infection until new nails grow out completely. Call ur Doctor it really does work!!

Took generic form for 12 weeks. No side effects at all. It took months for the nails to grow in looking normally- fairly proportionally in time to how long the infection had been present in the nail, so don't be upset if your nails still look pretty bad at the end of the three months. A year later, mine are still improving. I tried EVERY home cure and "natural" cure prior to the ... Show Full Comment

Took generic form for 12 weeks. No side effects at all. It took months for the nails to grow in looking normally- fairly proportionally in time to how long the infection had been present in the nail, so don't be upset if your nails still look pretty bad at the end of the three months. A year later, mine are still improving. I tried EVERY home cure and "natural" cure prior to the lamisil- literally for years. Vinegar, Vicks Vaporub, Tea tree oil, bleach, "Fungi Nail" and the like. Nothing works unless you have a really mild case, which I didn't. I recommend not bothering with these. I wish I'd taken the Lamisil years ago. This will be the first summer I won't have to deal with the embarrassment of icky nails in 20 years! Important- my doctor told me to start applying topical lamisil while I was taking the pills and to apply it every day for the rest of my life to keep this from coming back. At the time, I felt it was kind of a life sentence, but I've been doing it for almost a year and am used to it now. Not a big deal. I also threw out all of my socks and replaced them while I was on treatment. The doc suggested I throw out my shoes as well, but instead I treated them all multiple times with antifungal sprays and kept some of them that were pretty new.
