[Lamisil in the therapy of foot mycoses]

A new antimycotic drug lamisil (Sandoz, Switzerland) was given as pills to 35 patients with pedal mycosis (23 of them suffered from onychomycosis). Pedal mycosis was cured for 2 weeks, onychomycosis for 12 weeks. In 2 cases the drug was discontinued because of gastrointestinal toxicity. By tolerance and efficacy, lamisil is superior to griseofulvin and nizoral.
