As with any purchase of over-the-counter medications, it's important to ask questions. Pedinol is dedicated to providing you with helpful information and many of the answers to the questions that you may have regarding fungal infections and Fungoid Tincture.
WHAT IS THE ACTIVE INGREDIENT IN FUNGOID TINCTURE?
Fungoid Tincture contains 2% miconazole nitrate, the maximum strength topical antifungal allowed by the FDA without a prescription.
DO I APPLY FUNGOID TINCTURE TO THE NAIL?
No. Fungus does not grow on the nail but on the nail bed (skin). Apply Fungoid Tincture on skin under nails and surrounding cuticle areas twice a day (morning and evening).
WHEN CAN I EXPECT RESULTS?
You may start seeing results in as little as 4 weeks.
WHY DOES YOUR PACKAGE SAY: "THIS PRODUCT IS NOT EFFECTIVE ON THE SCALP OR NAILS?"
In 1994, the FDA ruled no over-the-counter antifungal product is effective on the nails. The FDA's opinion was antifungal products available without a prescription could not penetrate the nails, therefore, are ineffective in treating them. The statement "this product is not effective on scalp or nails" was subsequently required on the labels of all over-the-counter antifungal products. Fungus is an infection of the skin, not the nail.
CAN CHILDREN USE FUNGOID TINCTURE?
Fungoid Tincture is safe and effective for children over 2 years of age. Children under 2 years of age, use only under the advice and supervision of a physician.
WHAT HAPPENS IF FUNGOID TINCTURE SPILLS?
Care should be taken to avoid spilling because Fungoid Tincture will damage countertops, porcelain, stainless steel and flooring.
WHERE CAN I BUY FUNGOID TINCTURE?
Fungoid Tincture is widely available without a prescription in the foot care aisle at pharmacies nationwide and online at http://www.pedinol.com/register.php
