About LAMIFIN TABLET

LAMIFIN TABLET is an antifungal medicine that is used to treat fungal infections of toenails and fingernails. Oral granules are used to treat tinea capitis (scalp ringworm). Fungal nail infections (onychomycosis) are common infections of toenails or fingernails that cause the nail to become thick, discoloured, or more likely to break. Tinea capitis is a fungal infection of the scalp that is contagious and causes bald, itchy, and scaly patches of the ring shape.

LAMIFIN TABLET contains Terbinafine, an antifungal that works by damaging the fungal cell membranes, which are essential for their survival as they prevent the entry of unwanted substances into the cells and stop the leakage of cell contents. Thereby, kills fungi and clears the fungal infection.
