Fungal nail infections are caused by dermatophyte fungi and sometimes yeasts or moulds. They often start as a white or yellow spot under the nail and gradually spread, leading to thickened, discoloured, or distorted nails. The infection can spread to other nails and even the skin if left untreated.
Terbinafine is an oral antifungal treatment that penetrates the nail bed to kill the fungus from within. It is usually taken daily for 6–12 weeks, depending on the severity and location of the infection. It is more effective than topical treatments alone, particularly for advanced infections.
Can you buy fungal nail infection tablets over the counter? No — oral antifungal treatments like Terbinafine require a prescription to ensure safe and appropriate use, especially as they can interact with other medications or affect liver function.
In addition to medication, good nail hygiene is important. Keeping nails short, dry, and clean helps prevent the spread of infection. It’s also advisable to avoid walking barefoot in communal areas like swimming pools or gyms.
While topical antifungal treatments may help mild cases, oral treatments are the gold standard for more severe infections. Nail improvement can take months, as healthy nails grow slowly and must replace the damaged ones.
