Treating Nail Fungus

penlac Learn about Penlac®, the first and only brush-on prescription treatment approved by the FDA for treatment of mild to moderate nail fungus.

See your doctor if you have discolored or abnormally thick nails, or have a nail which appears to have separated from the nail bed. Only your physician or podiatrist can make the proper diagnosis and prescribe a treatment regimen.

Penlac® offers a safe, effective treatment option that is convenient to use. You will need to be realistic about treatment, however — it takes a long time for healthy, treated toenails to grow out. Fingernails typically grow faster than toenails.

Penlac® is a topical prescription for mild to moderate fungal nail infections. Regular visits to your health care professional for the removal of unattached, infected nails may be required. If you have diabetes, it is important to talk to your health care professional about nail care. The most common side effects are redness around nails, nail shape change, irritation, ingrown toenail and discoloration.
