Terbinafine Hcl Coupons & Prices

Looking for a terbinafine HCl coupon? Terbinafine hydrochloride is the generic form of Lamisil, an oral allylamine antifungal used to treat fungal nail infections (onychomycosis). Because it is already available as a low-cost generic, you usually do not need a brand-name budget to fill it. The catch is that the cash price for the same tablets can vary widely from one pharmacy to the next, so comparing before you buy is what saves money. Rx.com checks prices across more than 60,000 U.S. pharmacies. Enter your ZIP above to see today's terbinafine HCl price near you.

What is terbinafine HCl and how does it work?

Terbinafine hydrochloride is an allylamine antifungal. It works by blocking an enzyme that fungi need to build their cell membranes, which stops the fungus from growing and helps clear the infection. It is the generic version of Lamisil.

Oral terbinafine tablets are FDA-approved to treat onychomycosis, a fungal infection of the fingernails or toenails caused by dermatophytes. An oral granule form is approved to treat tinea capitis (scalp ringworm) in children 4 years and older. A separate over-the-counter topical version, sold as Lamisil AT, treats athlete's foot, jock itch, and ringworm on the skin. The tablets and the topical cream are used for different problems, so it is important to use the form your provider or pharmacist recommends.

Terbinafine HCl cost and coupons without insurance

Terbinafine is a widely stocked generic, so it is generally one of the more affordable antifungal treatments even if you are paying cash. Still, the price for the exact same prescription can differ a lot depending on which pharmacy you use, which is why it pays to compare rather than assume your usual pharmacy is cheapest.

You do not need insurance to use an Rx.com discount coupon. Enter your ZIP above to see today's terbinafine HCl price at pharmacies near you, then bring the coupon to the counter. Prices update live on this page, so we do not list a fixed dollar figure here. If you do have prescription coverage, compare the cash-coupon price against your copay and use whichever is lower.

Alternatives and related antifungal medications

Terbinafine is one of several oral antifungals used for fungal nail and skin infections. Your provider chooses among them based on the type of fungus, other medications you take, and your liver health. Related options include:

• Lamisil — the brand-name version of terbinafine
• itraconazole — another oral antifungal often used for nail infections
• fluconazole — a triazole antifungal
• griseofulvin — an older oral antifungal
• ketoconazole — an azole antifungal

Prices for these alternatives vary too. If your provider gives you a choice, you can compare each one's price using the ZIP search above. This is not medical advice; which drug is right for you is a decision for your provider.

Terbinafine HCl safety and side effects

Oral terbinafine carries a rare but serious risk of liver injury. Cases of liver failure, some fatal or requiring a transplant, have been reported. It is not recommended for people with chronic or active liver disease, and providers usually check liver function tests before and during treatment. Tell your provider right away if you notice ongoing nausea, poor appetite, stomach pain, dark urine, yellowing of the skin or eyes, or unusual tiredness.

Other serious but uncommon risks include severe skin reactions such as DRESS and Stevens-Johnson syndrome, changes or loss of taste and smell (which can occasionally be prolonged or permanent and may come with weight loss), depressive symptoms, and the triggering or worsening of lupus. Terbinafine also inhibits the liver enzyme CYP2D6, so it can interact with other medications. Give your provider and pharmacist a full list of everything you take.
