Onychomycosis or nail fungus is a common lesion characterized by deformity and discoloration of the disc. It is quite difficult to recognize such a disease in the initial stage: one may not pay attention to the fragility and dullness of the nails that appear.
Over time, they begin to change color, are covered with growths and itch constantly. Drops from nail fungus help cope with this problem - they kill pathogenic pathogens and accelerate the growth rate of healthy plates.
The most common drops against the fungus are fairly inexpensive products, but you can always find cheaper analogues. It should be noted that expensive drugs are virtually no different from the rest - it’s all about marketing. It is strongly recommended that you consult a doctor, who can tell you which drop is most effective for treating nail fungus.

Operating principle
The effect of the drops against onychomycosis is based on two effects: fungicidal and fungistatic. The first is that the drug helps stop the growth and development of pathogenic cells. The second talks about its ability to stop the spread of fungal spores in areas near the lid. Modern medicines have all these properties that determine the great effectiveness of such treatment. Most medications also contain other ingredients that help speed up the healing process.
The microorganism should be cultured to determine the most appropriate agent. In addition, when selecting drops, the physician should determine the extent of the damage and the stage of mycosis. Don’t believe all opinions because drops can also be used to treat other forms of onychomycosis.
For this reason, be sure to consult a mushroom specialist. There are also drugs that have anti-inflammatory, restorative and antibacterial effects.
