I'm trying to figure out whether it's more effective to take fluconazole once a week at 150 mg or daily at 50 mg. Also, is oral terbinafine a better option than fluconazole? What are your thoughts?

If you're treating vaginal yeast infections or oral thrush, fluconazole (either 150 mg once a week or 50 mg daily) would likely be a better choice. If you're dealing with skin or nail infections caused by dermatophytes (e.g., athlete's foot, ringworm, or fungal nail infections), terbinafine would likely be the more effective option. Always consult your doctor or healthcare provider to determine the best course of treatment based on your specific condition
