Nail Fungus (Onychomycosis) is very common and can be an embarrassing condition. It causes the nails of the hands and feet to become discolored, thickened and often painful. It is made worse by moisture, trauma, and activities that expose the patient to fungi. Typically in the treatment of patients with onychomycosis, use of nail polish has been avoided. Often patients are embarrassed and apply nail polish to cover the condition. NovaNailRX™ can be helpful in addressing mild to moderate cases of nail fungus alone or as an adjunctive therapy to what your physician may prescribe. NovaNailRX™ can be used for prevention when no signs of nail fungus are present or in persons who have been treated with prescription therapy to resolve nail fungus and would like to prevent re-infection.
