However, patients need to use the drug for treatment under the guidance of a doctor and avoid self-medication to avoid adverse reactions, such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea and other symptoms.If the symptoms are severe, it is recommended to stop the drug and seek medical treatment.

2. Terbinafine gel: Terbinafine gel is an acrylamine antifungal drug, which mainly achieves bactericidal effect by interfering with the early biosynthesis of fungal sterols. It is commonly used to treat skin infections caused by superficial fungi such as tinea manis, tinea pedis, tinea corporis, and jock itch. However, people who are allergic to this product are prohibited from using this drug, and pregnant and lactating women should use this drug with caution.
