Today at Doctor’s Choice Pharmacy, a patient asked me a question I hear often: “I’ve been using an antifungal cream for my toenail infection, but it’s taking forever to work. My doctor mentioned a nail polish treatment—what is that?”

I smiled, knowing this was a great option for many patients. “Yes! Compounded antifungal nail polish is a topical treatment specifically designed to penetrate the nail and target fungal infections (onychomycosis) at the source. Unlike creams or oral antifungals, it’s applied like regular nail polish and gradually works to kill the infection as the nail grows out.”

She looked intrigued. “That sounds easy! What’s in it?”

“Our compounded antifungal nail polish usually contains powerful antifungal ingredients like:
✔ Ciclopirox or terbinafine – Directly kills the fungus
✔ Fluconazole or itraconazole – Helps stop fungal growth
✔ Penetration enhancers – Allows the medication to reach deep into the nail”

She hesitated. “But will it actually work? I’ve had this infection for months!”

I reassured her, “Yes, but treating nail fungus takes time. The key is consistency—it can take several months for the nail to grow out fully clear. However, because this formula is compounded, we can adjust the ingredients based on your doctor’s prescription to maximize effectiveness.”

She asked, “How do I apply it?”

“Apply a thin layer to the affected nail once a day, just like regular nail polish. Make sure to remove the old layer before applying a fresh coat. The polish works best when used alongside good foot hygiene, like keeping nails trimmed and wearing breathable shoes.”

Before she left, I added, “Since compounded antifungal nail polish isn’t available commercially, we prepare it fresh based on your prescription. And yes, we offer free delivery for convenience!”

She smiled. “I love that I can treat this discreetly without using messy creams!”

At Doctor’s Choice Pharmacy, we provide customized antifungal solutions to help patients get rid of nail fungus safely and effectively.

Until tomorrow,
