A member asked:
Can you please describe the negative side effects from taking oral meds for toe fungus that won't go away?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Side effects: Different medications have different side effects. The medication that I use for my patients with your problem carries the risk of liver damage. To lower the risk, we draw blood to ensure the patient's liver is healthy before we start the medication and after several weeks to ensure that no damage is occuring.
