	You can take Lamisil Tablets with or without food.
	Be sure and take your medicine every day for the full course of treatment or the infection can come back. It's important for the active ingredient in Lamisil Tablets to stay in your nail bed months after your treatment is done. Then the medicine can continue fighting off the infection, so your nail can heal naturally over time.

When you take your pill at the same time every day, it's easier to remember to take it. For example, take it every morning when you wake up so you don't have to think about it for the rest of the day.

Unlike surface treatments, Lamisil Tablets work through your bloodstream to target the infection where it grows. Learn more
