Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to clear the nail infection?
Fungicros Cream may require a few days or weeks for symptoms to improve. Clearing an infection refers to noticeable improvement in symptoms. However, complete cure can be 6 months for fingernail infections and 9-12 months for toenail infections. Curing takes longer because nail infection needs time to be replaced by new nails.
Can I stop taking Fungicros Cream when my symptoms are relieved?
While you may see some improvement, do not discontinue treatment before finishing the entire course of medication prescribed. If the infection does not improve after 5 days of use, consult your doctor immediately.
