OnychoRx System
THE MOST INNOVATIVE TREATMENT FOR NAIL FUNGUS IS NOW HERE!
The combination of the unique, triple action, medicated nail pen - Onycho Rx - and the fast-acting, antifungal, drying emulsion - TineaRx - eliminates nail fungus
OnychoRx works by softening the nail allowing the formula's active ingredients to penetrate the nail and eradicate fungi beneath the nail
TineaRx works to destroy fungi on the skin and by drying the excess moisture that can be fueling the fungal infection
How to Treat Nail Fungus Infections Successfully Using the OnychoRx System
1) Apply a small amount of OnychoRx topical medicated pen once a day directly to all nails until you see medication visible on the nails
2) Apply a small amount of TineaRx topical cream to the toes and in between the toes (including the skin around the nails) but not directly on the surface of the nails once a day and then wash hands
Patients should begin to see nail changes in 3-4 weeks with daily use. Average treatment duration is 12 or more weeks. Continuation of this application protocol is recommended until ALL nails have cleared.
Nail Fungus Facts
- Onychomycosis is the medical term for fungal infection of the nails caused by organisms such as dermatophytes, yeast or mold
- Estimates show ~10%-15% of adults are affected by nail fungus
- Fungus thrives in dark, warm and moist environments
- Toenails are more commonly affected than fingernails – as sweaty feet, damp socks and lack of light from shoe wear are all contributing factors
- Nail fungus causes unsightly appearance to the nails including
- Thickening
- Brittleness
- Layering
- Discoloration – yellow/white/darkened
- Build up called “subungual debris” under the nail
- Nail fungus is rarely associated with pain or foul odor
- Lab tests can confirm or rule out the presence of a fungus infection of the nails
- Onychomycosis often lasts months to years and will worsen if not treated adequately
- Nail fungus can spread from one nail to another and eventually infect all of the nails
- Nail fungus can spread to the skin causing Athlete’s foot (Tinea Pedis)
Treatment and Prevention
- Nail fungus treatment
- Topical medications – Over the counter and/or prescription
- Oral Antifungal drugs
- Laser Nail Therapy
- Mechanical Breakdown / Filing the nails – this creates cracks and crevices in the nails in addition to decreasing the associated thickness of the nail plate and can advance the effectiveness of topical treatments
- Thinning the nails also allows for more light to the nail bed and less buildup to accumulate in the nail bed
- In severe cases, nail removal may be necessary due to significant deformity of the nail, infection and/or pain
- Ways to prevent nail fungus
- Change socks regularly to limit moisture
- Use of drying agents to decrease sweat build up on the skin
- Keeping nails short and trimmed
- Regularly washing your nails and making sure they are fully dry before applying socks
- Wearing slippers in public pools, locker rooms & showers
- Avoid sharing socks, shoes, nail clippers and nail polish with others
