Nail Fungus Treatment

Nail fungus a.k.a. onychomycosis, is a fungal infection that affects the fingernails and toenails. It can be tricky to treat as it is highly contagious and only cures as fast as a new healthy nail grows (up to 6 months for fingernails and up to 12 months for toenails). Over the counter products, while widely available and affordable, have a low cure rate (10% or less).

Traditional prescription products fall into 2 categories: single ingredient topicals and oral treatments. Single ingredient prescription topicals are successful at curing fingernail and toenail fungus but are expensive ($600 or more per bottle and you will need multiple bottles during your treatment), and only available through a doctor. Oral prescriptions have a higher cure rate, but some pose potential side effects like liver monitoring and have lifestyle trade offs such as no coffee or alcohol for several months.

So, fingernail and toenail fungus treatment options exist today, but are suboptimal.

Enter Caratin.

Caratin offers both a multi-ingredient prescription topical as well as an oral treatment. They can be used independently or together as directed by your Caratin doctor.

The treatments are more cost effective (as low as $1 a day) and ship directly to your home with virtual physician care. Imagine, never having to leave the comfort of your home without sacrificing high quality care and scientifically proven prescription treatments!
