Oral drugs can be very effective in eliminating nail infections and restoring clear nails. The drugs must be taken for 6 to 9 months and may cause side effects including headache, diarrhoea, upset stomach and skin rash. Serious side effects include risk of liver damage and heart failure. Monthly blood tests may be required to monitor liver function. These drugs are not used for patients in poor health or who have liver disease and are very strong.
Laser treatments are effective in eliminating nail infections and restoring clear nails. Most patients experience at least some improvement. During treatment most patients experience a warm feeling in their toes. A clinical study reported no adverse effects related to the laser.
