Can I take terbinafine and itraconazole together for nail
fungus infection?
Taken terbinafine and itraconazole together just to get rid
of nail or toe nail fungus infection, first I have this to say, it is vital you
get directive from your physical or a medical expert before embarking on taking
drugs, this is so as to prevent any kind side effect that may occur at the
latter end.
Both terbinafine and itraconazole are both effective in
treating fungal infection be it nail or any fungal diseases they have same
working mechanism that is, both have the capacity of wiping out the infection,
but there is a slight difference with the two drugs.
In terms of side effect itraconazole is safer to use because
it has less side effect also it is very cheap to purchase. Itraconazole this is
one of the new drug in the class of “azole” which is very active in treatingfungal infection, especially toenail fungus, that does not mean it is better
than terbinafine.
Thus from my own opinion since both drugs perform the same function
it will be advisable you stick to just one of them specifically Itraconazole, owing to the fact
that too much of such drugs can be harmful to the body system, that is the more
reason you need doctors prescription before taking any of this drugs also
should in case you notice any form of side effects such as body itching, lost
of appetite, pale face, nauseous, sickening, dark urine make sure you
immediately see your doctor for proper examination
