Onychomycosis or nail fungus is a common lesion characterized by deformation and discoloration of the plate. It is quite difficult to recognize such a disease in the initial stages: a person may not pay attention to the brittleness and dullness of the nails that have appeared.
Over time, they begin to change color, become covered in growths, and constantly itch. Drops of toenail fungus will help solve this problem - it will kill pathogens and accelerate the growth of healthy plaques.
The most common anti-fungal drops are fairly cheap products, but you can always find cheaper analogues. It should be noted that expensive drugs are practically no different from others - it's all in marketing. We strongly recommend that you consult a doctor, who will be able to tell you which drops are the most effective for treating nail fungus.

Working principle
The action of drops against onychomycosis is based on two actions: fungicidal action and fungistatic ability. The first is that the drug helps stop the growth and development of pathogenic cells. Others talk about the ability to stop the spread of fungal spores in nearby areas of the cover. Modern medicines have all these properties that determine the high efficiency of such treatment. Also in the composition of most drugs there are other components that help speed up the healing process.
In order to determine the most suitable agent, it is necessary to carry out a culture of the microorganism. Also, when choosing drops, the doctor should identify the degree of damage and the stage of mycosis. Do not trust all the reviews, because the drops can be used to treat other forms of onychomycosis.
For this reason, you should definitely consult a fungal specialist. There are drugs that have anti-inflammatory, restorative and antibacterial effects.
Contraindications
Despite the complete safety of anti-fungal drops on nails, they have a number of contraindications. This is due to excessive activity of the active substance, which in some cases can adversely affect the body. It should be noted that in each individual case, the doctor should individually consider the possibility of treatment with such a drug. Special attention should be paid to those people who have an increased tendency to allergic reactions. The absolute contraindication for such therapy is:
- the presence of bleeding or purulent areas near the nail - when it enters the wound, the agent causes unbearable pain, as well as inflammation;

- children under 12 years - the effect of use in this group has not yet been studied;
- individual intolerance to components - can cause the development of serious allergic reactions.
The presence of contraindications suggests that it is necessary to consult your doctor before using this method of treatment. It should be borne in mind that the occurrence of side effects can significantly complicate the treatment process.For this reason, self-medication and prescribing such drugs to oneself is strictly forbidden.
Antifungal drops work most effectively in the initial stages. The use of drops in advanced stages helps to significantly speed up the healing and recovery process. An integrated approach will help you get rid of fungus quickly.
