My toenail infection went away 75% after taking Lamisil oral for about 3 weeks. However I lost my sense of taste completely. Now it has been more than 3 weeks after I stopped taking Lamisil but I am still without my taste buds! Can someone from the manufacturing company comment on this and say if and when I may get my taste back. I appreciate all the comments.

It has been about 3 weeks after sto ... Show Full Comment
