Guest guest Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 That's great. I've noticed some stores are starting to cater to people on a budget as perhaps it is becoming such a widespread problem, what with no health insurance also. I was in there yesterday and saw so much clothing under 10.00. They've always been cheap but think there prices have gone done. Costco and Sam's Clubs also have very heavily discounted drugs and I believe to use their pharmacy dept, you don't need to become a member!! > > Hi All! > Just wanted to tell everyone for future reference that Lamisil pills > (terbinafine) anti fungal meds are on the Walmart $4 list. 250mg x 30 > pills for $4.

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 It was originally made for toe nail and finger nail fungus. Terbinafine lamisil is a synthetic allylamine antifungal. It is highly lipophilic in nature and tends to accumulate in skin, nails, and fatty tissues. Terbinafine interferes with fungal ergosterol synthesis by inhibiting the enzyme squalene epoxide in the fungal cell membrane. This leads to fungal cell death by disruption of fungal membrane function and cell wall synthesis. The oral dose is well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, and is extensively distributed to the hair follicle, nail plate and sebum-rich skin.

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 I have read some studies that it is being researched in combination with sporanox for aspergillus for a synergistic effect with positive results. Also, it it being used in place of sporanox in some resistant strains of aspergillus with good response. I am also reading that taking an antihistamine such as loratidine along with sporanox will increase the anti-fungal effect of sporanox. gail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 In a small number of patients it caused liver failure and death (without much warning--unlike some other antifungals where you can monitor liver function and see changes and stop taking them.) I tried it for 3 days once. Had a great impact on my fungal symptoms but I began to get horrible pain in my liver area. Like doubling-over pain. I stopped. I had odd liver congestion for many months. Well, at least my liver talked to me and warned me! -- In , a Townsend <kmtown2003@...> wrote: > > Wasn't there a study out of New Zealand warning about Lamisil doing damage to the liver?? > I'm not trying to throw any curve balls but better safe than sorry. > i'll look for it > a > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
