Question:
[b:cd4eeb069f] Has anyone had any experience with this medication for
toe nail fungus. I've seen the commercials and, so, I bought it this
morning, because I have a very stubborn case of the fungus. I cannot
believe what I just read in the fine print on the outer box. I quote:
" This product is not effective on the scalp or nails." The
pictures on the box are of these ugly fungus eaten toe nails! How can
they do this? I live a distance from the drug store, so, I called and
they said others had the same question about that statement. The
website on the box is , but, it doesn't come up.
Do you have any comments? Thanks Wanda[/b:cd4eeb069f]

Answer:
I can get the website to come up. I even looked for a cached copy of
the site in Google with no luck. You might want to just search for the
ter "teneacide" in Google to get information on the product other than
the information on Healthdigest.org found here:


Answer:
Is there any possibility that putting this cream on my fungus toe
nails twice daily can be absorbed into my system and cause any
reaction at all? I started using the Tineacide last month, with good
results so far, but, two weeks ago, almost suddenly, I have bone and
muscle pain in both legs from thighs down, that I need to use my cane.
I see no other reason for it. I'd appreciate your comments.

Answer:
Hey Anonymous, how are you doing?

Mild infections affecting less than 80% of one or two nails may respond to topical antifungal medications ( e.g. Whitfield's ointment (benzoic acid), Ciclopirox olamine (Batrafen® cream, powder, solution), or Tioconazole (Trosyd® cream) but cure usually requires an oral antifungal medication (e.g. Itraconazole (Sporanox® capsules) for candida and dermatophyte infections (azoles), Nystatin (Mycostatin®, Nilstat®) for candida infections, or Terbinafine (Lamisil®, Terbafin® tablets) for dermatophyte infections.

The discoloured surface of the nails can be scraped off. The debris can be scooped out from under the nail.

Answer:
Hey Guest, how are you doing?

Onychomycosis can be due to:


such as Trichophyton rubrum (T rubrum), T. interdigitale. The infection is also known as tinea unguium.
such as Candida albicans.
especially Scopulariopsis brevicaulis.
TOLNAFTATE (Tinactin®, Ting®) is an antifungal medicine used to treat ringworm and tinea infections, such as jock itch and athlete's foot. Increased inflammation, redness, or pain at the affected area are side effects that you should report to your prescriber or health care professional as soon as possible.

If your skin condition is not better after 4 weeks, or if it returns when you stop using tolnaftate, see your prescriber or health care professional. You may have a skin infection that does not respond to tolnaftate.

Antifungal treatment will not be successful if there is another explanation for the nail condition. To establish or confirm the diagnosis of a
, skin, hair and nail tissue is collected for microscopy and culture (mycology).

Superficial white onychomycosis. Flakey white patches and pits appear on the top of the nail plate.

Lateral onychomycosis. A white or yellow opaque streak appears at one side of the nail.

Mild infections affecting less than 80% of one or two nails cure usually requires an
medication (e.g.
(Sporanox® capsules) or
(Diflucan® capsules). Oral antifungal medications may be required for a fungal infection if it resists
therapy.

Along with its needed effects, Tinactin® may cause some unwanted effects. Although not all of these side effects may occur, if they do occur they may need medical attention.

Itraconazole is available by perscription and may be purchased at Pharmacy Affiliate® in our. Some species of candida are resistant to
, and azole resistance is increasing especially in immunosuppressed patients who are prescribed long courses.

Answer:
I realize this thread is a little old, but if you get this hopefully it will help.

They must have put the wrong website on the box because it is


And about the quote on the box. Dermatophytes grow on the skin around and underneath the nail. This is what causes toenail fungus. So, it is illegal for Blaine Labs to put that it kills NAIL fungus. This is just one of those strange FDA rules.

Now, you should see results in about 3 months, but you should continue to apply for upwards of a year. The main reason is you have to give the infected part of the nail time to grow out. FYI, this is the same amount of time oral prescriptions take as well because again the nail can only grow so fast.

And get rid of any shoes you have worn with the fungus because it can be remitted and live in your shoes. If you don't want to throw out the shoes you might want to get something like Tineacide Shoe Spray that kills the fungus inside.

You have to be vigilant about this or it won't go away.




Answer:
Tineacide has no ingredients that would allow it to absorb into your blood stream. It also has no ingredients that would cause the symptoms you relate if somehow it was introduced into you blood stream, say by taking it orally. I suggest that you consult with your doctor regarding your bone and muscle pain.
