I have been using this medication off-on for more than 7 years on my one infected toe nail. I've used it - as directed - religiously and asfor the past year and it has failed to clear up the fungus. I'm very disappointed in the product and am now switching to the generic version and looking for an alternative treatment. Published: April 07, 2008 ::
I've been on penlac for a year and I my two big toenails look the same as when I started. Published: June 05, 2009 ::
I was not told it would loosen the nail & cause it to come off/wanted nail to remain during tx. My nail looks very distorted; like a horse-shoe shape with skin up the middle. Purple got over nail bed and red around cuticle. Penlac did nothing to help. Lamisil Pills worked. After 3 months my prescription ran out - then it came back again.... on Itraconazole pills now. We'll see. I'm very embarrassed and it's been 10 mos. My doctor just took a biopsy. I guess I'll miss wearing sandals again this year. My doctor says you cannot get it again from your own clippers. Articles I had read say differently. I think this happened when during a pedicure they nicked my cuticle. I had severe nail pain and it was red and not around the cuticle and it all started.
