A “Solution” for Patients Unable to Swallow a Pill: Crushed Terbinafine Mixed With Syrup

Abstract

Because oral terbinafine is now formulated only as a tablet, there is a barrier to treatment of superficial fungal infections in patients who are unable to swallow a pill such as young children and patients with pill dysphagia. We describe a preparation method that allows this population to safely and effectively use oral terbinafine.
