1. Elena: Treated the child mycosis of the scalp. Used lamisil tablets. The drug proved to be quite effective, for the month almost coped with the problem. No side effects have been identified. I advise everyone to lamisil tablets for the treatment of similar problems.
2. Igor: I was prescribed lamizil tablets from a fungus on the nails. He suffered for a long time, nothing really helped. Tablets helped very well. Passed a full course of treatment in conjunction with the cream and forgot about what a fungus on the nails.
3. Angelina: Took a medication prescribed by a dermatologist. Followed the instructions, as a result of the fungus of the foot irretrievably disappeared. Although I experienced various means before lamizil, not one managed to cope with the task. If he passed the fungus, he soon returned. And after lamizil for more than a year there was no relapse. I am completely satisfied with the drug, even the money spent is not a pity.

1. Maria: Lamizil ointment was prescribed to us by a doctor after long trips to hospitals and unsuccessful treatment of her daughter’s skin thrush. Before this means nothing helped. Lamisil coped with the problem for a month (smeared twice a day). The price, of course, is not small, but when it comes to the health of the child, I don’t feel any money. I recommend this cream for those who have a similar problem!
2. Svetlana: I used Lamizil ointment to treat nail fungus. Followed the instructions, everything seems to have passed, but after a week the fungus appeared again. Maybe it was not effective for me.
3. Vladimir: With the help of lamizil, I tried to treat a foot fungus. Horror, it only got worse. Not only does it cost a lot of money, it does not help. It was very disappointing, because I was hoping for the cure to the last.
