Antifungal agents are quite serious drugs and, if misused, can cause irreparable harm to human health. Strongly effective drugs are used exclusively in severe (neglected) forms of the disease. If the skin lesion is insignificant, then it is better to use local means - lacquers, kerms, spirits or ointments.

Of course, the most effective are tablets (capsules) such as "Lamisil", "Diflucan", "Fluconazole", "Orungal". They kill the fungus in 95% of cases. But, unfortunately, such drugs have side effects, negatively affect the stomach, liver and intestines. Orungal can negatively affect the endocrine system and reduce libido. But, despite the side effect, this is the only drug that destroys the nail fungus.

For skin diseases, it is recommended to apply them up to 4 weeks, and for nail fungus - up to 3 months.
