070606 - Kory says Oral Lamisil is one of the most effective treatments for
070607 - toenail fungus; however it works only 50-80% of the time. If it
070608 - works, the nail will not look normal for 8-18 months after finishing
070609 - the pills (depending on how fast the nails grow). ref DRP 5 0002
070610 -
070611 - Sent Kory a note thanking him and asking if the Lamisil cream used for
070612 - the foot fungus problem will work in place of oral medication, and
070613 - aksed about how long the medication has to be taken, and where to buy
070614 - it. ref DRP 6 0004
070615 - ..
070616 - Received letter from Kory, ref DRP 6 0001, saying Lamisil cream
070617 - is effective for tinea pedis (athlete's foot), but not for toenail
070618 - fungus. Oral Lamisil 250 mg, 1 pill daily for 12 weeks (or 1 pill
070619 - twice daily for 7 consecutive days every 4th week for 3 or 4 months)
070620 - is the usual regimen for toenail fungus.
070621 - ..
070622 - The oral medication has some rare, health threatening
070623 - side-effects including liver and bone marrow toxicity, and severe skin
070624 - reactions.
070625 - ..
070626 - The Kaiser Health Plan does not cover the treatment of toenail
070627 - fungus and the pills are not cheap -- about $5 per pill.
