Q. Has anyone ever taken oral doses of Lamisil for treatment of a toenail fungus? What were your side effects? I’m a little nervous to take it.

PDR reference:
Lamisil side effects

Side effects cannot be anticipated. If any develop or change in intensity, inform your doctor as soon as possible. Only your doctor can determine if it is safe for you to continue taking Lamisil.

Side effects of the cream and solution are uncommon. They include burning or irritation, itching, dryness, peeling, and rash.

The tablets are a bit more likely to cause a reaction:

Side effects of the tablets may include:
Diarrhea, headache, indigestion, rash

Special warnings about Lamisil:

Changes in the lens and retina of the eye have been reported in people taking Lamisil tablets. If you notice any changes in your vision while taking the tablets, notify your doctor.

Lamisil tablets have been known to cause rare cases of liver damage. If you develop warning signs such as nausea, loss of appetite, or fatigue, alert your doctor. Lamisil tablets are not recommended if you have liver disease or kidney problems.

If you suffer from the autoimmune disorder lupus erythematosus, you will not be able to take Lamisil.

Lamisil tablets have also, in rare instances, caused very severe skin reactions. If you develop a steadily worsening rash, stop taking the tablets and call your doctor immediately.

If you develop another kind of infection while taking Lamisil tablets, tell your doctor. Lamisil may decrease your ability to fight infection.

Do not use Lamisil cream or solution in the eye, mouth, nose, or vagina. In case of accidental contact with the eyes, rinse them thoroughly with running water and call your doctor if symptoms continue.

If you develop skin irritation, redness, itching, burning, blistering, swelling, or oozing while using the cream or solution, notify your doctor. Do not cover the treated area with dressings unless directed by your doctor.

Lamisil has not been tested for safety in children.
Lamisil takes months to work (the nail needs to completely grow out).

Q: Does laser for toenail fungus really work? I have had toenail fungus for many years, not on all nails, but on several and Ive decided to finally do something about it. What I want to know is, does the laser treatment really work? and how long does it take to get complete result? I know these are a lot of questions but I would just like to know what the cost is and if it is really affective. Thanks for your help!

There are a lot of claims that laser surgery for toenail fungus is really effective. Though some have doubts because it is only on its developmental stage. Laser surgery doesn’t guarantee any cure. Results may vary from person to person. Before you try this method, you have got to try other alternatives. Like applying tea tree oil, oregano oil or jojoba oil on your infected toe.

Fungus Treatment For Fish

I have fish with fungus, how long do they need treatment.?

I have 26 fish in a pond and 2 have fungus. I have isolated them and treated the water but how long do they need to stay in isolation. They are goldfish type. Unfortunately the instructions do not give a time scale , hence the question.
Tetra Pond Medifin is the product being used.

The fish should stay in isolation until they are no longer showing any symptoms. The instructions on the medication should tell you as to how long you should perform a full course of treatment, however you can prolong the treatment if the fish show no signs of recovery.

Edit: If you send me an e-mail with the brand of treatment then I might be able to help with the dosage, as I do know a couple of people in manufacturing.
