what is the over the counter medication for toe fungus
Miconazole is another over the counter medication for fungal infections of the toes. For athlete's foot, it is sold as Monistat-Derm cream. For toenail infections, it is sold as Humco Miranel AF Anti-Fungal Treatment and Clearly Confident AF Cream. Miconazole should be applied twice a day.
The best toenail fungus treatment over the counter may be an antifungal lacquer should an individual have a mild to moderate nail fungus infection. This is an antifungal nail polish also known as ciclopirox or pentac. Once a day, the polish is painted on the infected nail and surrounding skin.
Prescription Treatments. Nail fungi are small organisms that require warm moisture to survive, which means that they thrive inside shoes and socks. This makes toe fungus especially difficult to treat. Prescription treatments include the oral medications terbinafine and itraconazole.
