Treat the Infection, End the Frustration
Before they see you, most patients with onychomycosis try to treat the infection on their own. They become frustrated with ineffective treatment approaches. LAMISIL® Tablets offer effective treatment: high cure rates with low relapse, an established safety record, and convenient once-a-day dosing. In a 48-week assessment of clinical success rates with LAMISIL® Tablets, the following results were reported*:

Bullet 70% achieved mycologic cure
Bullet 59% achieved effective treatment (mycologic cure plus 0% nail involvement or 5 mm of new unaffected nail growth)
Bullet 38% achieved mycologic plus clinical cure after 12 weeks of therapy (one 250-mg tablet daily) [mean time to overall success: 10 months]
Bullet 85% did not relapse among those who achieved mycologic plus clinical cure of toenails (mycologic cure is achieved before clinical cure; relapse rate based on 38% of patients who demonstrated both mycologic cure plus clinical cure) Mycologic cure is achieved before clinical cure.
