A fungus fighter among us
April 17, 2007 by Henry E. Powderly II
Nail fungus … nasty, but thank goodness there are ways to treat the nail-yellowing affliction, including one from a local drug company.
Amityville-based Hi-Tech Pharmacal Co. received tentative Food and Drug Administration approval today to market Ciclopirox, a generic drug used to treat nail fungus.
Ciclopirox will compete with mainstream brand Penlax, which is marketed by Dermik Laboratories. Both are topical drugs applied like nail polish over the affected nails.
The final approval is expected on Sept. 18, which is when the Penlax patent expires.
For more on nail fungus, here’s a link to the Mayo Clinic’s all-you-need-to-know-about-fungus page.
And for those who are interested, here’s a few holistic methods for clearing those nails.
