Terbinafine works by directly destroying the infected cells and clearing the infection.

Terbinafine tablets for nail infections are usually taken for 6 weeks, but improvements may not be noticeable until a few months after.

For fungal skin infections, Terbinafine is usually taken for a considerably shorter time of between 2 and 6 weeks.
