3	toenail fungus	none that i can point out	i had lost about 15% of my both big toenails on the inner corners and no topical would help it grow back. My podiatrist suggested this and I tried it. Nails grew back after more than one year of every day application but they looked still weak and kinda cracked at the top which is why i had to keep applying it for another year or so...The fungus never went away. It just helped make them look more normal so i can wear sandals without being embarrassed. Once i stopped it, the fungus came all back and attacked my nail underneath...Ughh! You just have to keep applying topicals forever if you don't wanna bother with pills. :(	F	38	2 years 1X D	4/27/2012 Email
2	Toe Fungus	No side effects. It just didn't work	You apply this laquer over the nail, but I felt that it never penetrated the nail. I would open up the nail in order to apply it directly but it worked just the same. I did this for over a year. I will admit that I would forget to apply on weekends frequently.. but at no point did my toenail get better.	M	27	1.25 years	5/16/2005
1	nail fungus	none	Tried it for a year with no results. Very expensive medicine with pitiful success rate. Don't waste your time or money.	M	36	1 years 1X D	5/8/2012 Email
1	Nail Fungus	No side effects, no improvement. This is a modern day snake oil! I don't know of anyone who had any positive results.	Was the FDC asleep on this one?	M	57	1 years	8/14/2005
