A member asked:

I have a nail infection, and i've been taking fluconazole 150mg for two months, it doen't help me! what can i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Change meds: Talk to your doctor. Terbinafine or sporonox are alternative medications that are more effective. Also maybe get a second opinion to ensure that the diagnosis is correct. Be patient it can take up to 6 months for the fingernail to grow out completely with a new healthy nail.
