Please tell brand-name and also generic-name of medicine as medication for fungus under thumb-nail?

I soak them in Hydrogen peroxide..but once when i was really in a hurry I used bleach mildly and hot soapy water..just a little bit and it worked just fine,..but usually, hydrogen peroxide soak will do the job.

    Lamisil tablets… treats the fungus from inside your bloodstream

    generic name… Terbinafine

    it’s a long-term course of treatment and is costly

    blood tests must also be done to check your liver function as this medication is hard on the liver.

    you still need to go to a doc for it, there are a lot of dif stuff out there, i tried and it worked fluconazole, its a 6 months treatment but it healed pretty quick, and you still have to complete the 6 months.

    After you bathe or shower and your nails are hydrated (you can also soak them) put a drop or two of tea tree oil on the infected nails. Do this once a day til they are cleared up.

    Fungus is very persistant. Good luck taking meds.

    treat it by applying Vick’s Vapo Rub . this really works. it takes a while for he nail to grow out. My doctor advised
    this,put it all around the cuticle and under the nail. this works.
