The nature of the risk of losing ones ability to taste is pretty much swept under the rug by the Lamisil manufacturer in its mass marketing of this dangerous drug. I think the 3% rate for this very very damaging side effect is unacceptable. Would it be ok with the FDA if 3% of users were blinded? Taste is an important sense. It can make us happy and it can warn us of dangers not to ingest. Losing it is a disaster. | M | 63 | 6 weeks | 4/29/2004 | 1 | yellow nails and tichy feet | 5/2/04 loss of taste after 4 weeks use of lamisil 5/8/04 stopped lamisil 5/25 no taste,except salty,and upset stomach | no warning of side effects when given lamisil | M | 53 | 3 weeks | 5/25/2004 | 5 | toenail fungus | Had no side effects. | Starting to see pink nail. | F | 55 | 6 weeks | 6/19/2004 | 1 | Loss of taste completely on day 33!

I am 5' 4 | F | 57 | 33 days | 6/22/2004 | 1 | toenail fungus | After taking about 5 weeks, noticed a loss of taste. Have a salty/metallic taste in my mouth all the time. Food tastes like cardboard or bread dough; I have already lost 4 pounds because I have no desire for food. | Doctor told me to stop taking the drug and my sense of taste would return. | F | 70 | 42 days | 6/22/2004 | 1 | toenail infection | Loss sense of taste after 4 weeks. I have a salty taste in my mouth all the time. Food is not enjoyable. | I guess after this is over I'll be glad as long as it works but I can't imagine going 5 more weeks not being able to taste. I guess I'll start my diet now. | F | 46 | 39 days | 7/9/2004 | 1 | Toenail fungus | Stomach aches, a lack of appetite, more frequent bowel movements with light stools, and just today noticed a bold spot in my head.

I had no side effects for the first 60 days. | M | 37 | 90 days | 9/12/2004 | 1 | toe nail infectins | really bad joint and pain in my bones...really bad lower back..liver/kidney pains...difficulty moving...feel like I am 84 not 44. went to the doctor who pescribed the drug and asked if these were usual side effects, she said not that she had heard of...when I read the leaflet in the packet more closely, it acutally said exactly that....joint and muscle pain. Asked at my local chemist about side effects, he showed me him badly infected finger nails and said he would rather have them than use lamasil! I have thrown the drug away and hope my pains are temporary. | se above...dreadful drug that should be fely explained and onlt given as a last resort in severe cases...if at all. | M | 44 | 42 days | 9/12/2004 | 3 | Fungal toenails | Nil | The medicine did help however the fungal infection returned about one month after completing the 6 month course of the tablets. | M | 50 | 6 months | 9/15/2004 |
