FDA Approves Terbinafine (Lamisil) Granules for Tinia Capitis in Kids
Wednesday, May 2nd, 2007ROCKVILLE, Md., Oct. 2 — The FDA has approved terbinafine oral granules (lamisil), which can be sprinkled on food, for tinia capitis in children four years and older.
The FDA said it asked Novartis to develop a “palatable formulation” for use in children against ringworm. In response, the company developed the easy-to-swallow granules.
The approved pediatric doses, recommended for six weeks, were determined through clinical trials in children, the FDA said. The actual dosage amount will be determined by the weight of the child.
