Nail fungal infections can be painful and may cause permanent damage to your nails. It is important to make an appointmet with your medical provider if you suspect you have a nail fungal infection, and you also suffer from a suppressed immune system due to medication, diabetes or other conditions. Podiatrists are the medical specialists who commonly treat conditions of the foot and ankle and you can find one near you here.
Toenail fungus is one of the most common ailments that we receive compounded prescriptions for. The reasons that we receive about 2 dozen prescriptions a week for our compounded preparations are:
-
Our compounds are effective because each has at least three medications combined into one single delivery form. Mutiple drugs = multiple modes of action = greater efficacy.
-
They are easy to use. We dispense all of our nail fungus preparations in a nail polish bottle with a built in brush in the cap.
-
We bill drug insurances for all of our compounds. Many people with insurance pay less than $10 month for their nail fungus compounds.
Research your treatment options, and talk to your medical provider about what options may be best for you.
