June 2025 Archive — Aciphex & Lamisil practical guides
This month we published two focused, practical guides: one on Aciphex (rabeprazole) for acid reflux and GERD, and one on Lamisil (terbinafine) for common fungal infections. If you want straightforward advice on how these drugs work, typical doses, common side effects, and quick tips to get better results, you’ll find it here.
Aciphex (rabeprazole) — quick facts
Aciphex is a proton pump inhibitor used to reduce stomach acid. It’s commonly prescribed for GERD, erosive esophagitis, and frequent heartburn. A typical adult dose is 20 mg once daily, usually taken before a meal. Short-term side effects often include headache, diarrhea, or stomach pain. Long-term PPI use can affect bone density and vitamin B12 absorption, so talk with your doctor if you need treatment for months or years.
Practical tips: take Aciphex before breakfast for best effect, don’t stop suddenly without advice, and mention other meds you take (some interactions matter). If acid symptoms persist or you get severe abdominal pain, unexplained weight loss, or blood in stool, see a clinician promptly.
Lamisil (terbinafine) — quick facts
Lamisil comes as topical creams or an oral tablet and fights fungi by stopping their growth. For athlete’s foot and ringworm, topical forms often work in a few weeks. For nail fungus, oral terbinafine (commonly 250 mg once daily) is the usual choice: about 6 weeks for fingernails and 12 weeks for toenails is typical, but exact length depends on your case.
Common side effects include stomach upset, headache, and taste changes. Oral terbinafine can affect the liver, so doctors usually check liver enzymes before and during treatment. Don’t start oral Lamisil if you have active liver disease; tell your clinician about alcohol use and any other drugs you take.
Who benefits most: pick Aciphex if acid suppression is needed now for GERD symptoms. Pick Lamisil topical for skin fungal infections and consider oral Lamisil for persistent nail fungus after discussing risks and monitoring with your provider.
