Reviews

We picked up some reviews of people who used the drug Nitrofungin:

Alla. I tried many different things from the fungus, and I came to the conclusion that nitrofungin is the optimal remedy, especially for the treatment between the toes. It is not an expensive and effective remedy for nail fungus. Can eat better, but clearly more expensive.
Irina. I treated the fungus between the fingers. I must say a disgusting thing. Apparently after fitness appeared, more from nowhere. Nitrofungin was injected with my chopsticks and the fungus passed between my fingers! But you can not sweat for a long time.
Jeanne. In the pool I picked up the nail fungus and mycosis of the foot. The dermatologist for the beginning has appointed or nominated to me nitrofungin. She applied her foot and nails 3 times a day for a whole month. During this time, almost nothing has changed. The effect is weak, you need to apply carefully, as it paints the nails and the skin around the nail. In the summer you will not go out in open shoes. Improvements did not notice any, even a slight itch does not remove.
