New fungal nail Rx
January 8, 2014
The first non anti-fungal therapy
for the treatment of fungal nail
infection (onychomycosis) is now
approved for use in Australia.
Available over-the-counter
in pharmacies, the Excilor
medical device is a new non-pharmacological
treatment proven
to increase the acidity of the nail
bed, stopping the spread of the
fungus, while maintaining overall
nail health.
“This is a new approach to
treating fungal nail infection and is
long overdue,” said Sydney based
dermatologist, Dr John Sullivan.
According to Dr Sullivan, fungal
nail infections are extremely
common and very difficult to treat.
“Around 2.3 million Australians
suffer from fungal nail infections,
many of which are not effectively
managed,” he added.
