|
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. |
