This is crucial because the medication is metabolized by liver enzymes, and liver impairment could lead to increased medication levels in the blood, resulting in higher side effects and toxicity. It's important to inform your doctor of any existing liver conditions or cirrhosis. Additionally, share information about all other medications you are taking as drug interactions with Finleaf 250mg Tablet can further impact liver function and potentially increase the risk of side effects.

Is Finleaf 250mg Tablet an effective treatment option?
Finleaf 250mg Tablet is generally effective in treating fungal infections, such as athlete's foot (Tinea pedis), ringworm (Tinea corporis), and jock itch (Tinea cruris).

Typically, treatment ranges from two to four weeks for Tinea pedis (foot), Tinea corporis (ringworm), and Tinea cruris (groin). However, it may require up to six weeks in some cases. For nail fungus, the duration can range from six to twelve weeks. Fingernail fungal infections might require six weeks, while toenail fungal infections can take up to twelve weeks. The exact treatment duration is determined by your doctor based on the specific type of infection, its location, and how your body responds to the medication.
Can I drink tea or coffee when taking Finleaf 250mg Tablet?
Consuming caffeine-rich beverages like tea and coffee while on Finleaf 250mg Tablet might be wise to avoid.
