The toenail fungus is also called Onychomycosis and happens to be the very commonly occurring condition affecting the toenail. Its prime characteristic is represented by abnormality in the nail color, its texture and thickening produced. The causative factor of nail fungus infection is resulting from one of the large number of fungus species likely to affect areas where humidity is persisting and wrong types of footwear, presence of nail trauma, the genetic predisposed persons and as a result of suppression immune system.
Either by following continuous use or intermittent use of itraconazole treatment options has been demonstrating their efficacy in nail fungal treatment. The appreciable clinical benefit is observed with many months of oral treatment. The orally administering of itraconazole is being done in more than 80% of persons suffering toenail infection.
There is long-term experience of symptoms remission and clearing of the disease recorded in majority of persons suffering the disease. Still there are few patients reporting success in the treatment get the infection relapse.
