Works better, but...: The prescription drugs for treatment of toenail fungus infection (onychomycosis) are quite effective, much better than OTC treatment, soaks, etc. However, they require treatment for several months, are expensive, and not covered by many health insurance policies. Ask your doctor's office, and maybe check with a pharmacy about cost if not convered by insurance. Good luck.
