Why does the label for FUNGICURE Maximum Strength Liquid say "not effective on scalp or nails"?
The active ingredient in FUNGICURE Maximum Strength Liquid has been recognized to be safe and effective by an FDA Expert Advisory Panel when used as directed. It works to eliminate fungus infections on the skin around and adjacent to the nail and under the nail tips where reachable with the applicator
brush.
The FDA requires the statement "not effective on scalp or nails" to appear on all over the counter antifungal products because the FDA has concluded that “such infections respond poorly to topical therapy, partly because of the depth of the hair roots and the thickness of the nails”. The FDA considers the nails to be a hard surface not penetrable by OTC topical medications.
Fungus can infect the entire nail area of fingers and toes. This includes the surrounding skin, the nail beds and the nails surfaces themselves, commonly referred to as the nail plates. While an intact nail plate, being a hard surface, is not penetrable by OTC topical applications, there are instances where nail plates are not intact and are actually cracked open, breached or partially separated from the nail bed. There are also instances where fungal infections reside on skin around and adjacent to the nail plate, on the cuticles, and under the exposed quick of the nail. In these instances where the fungus is exposed, FUNGICURE Maximum Strength Liquid, with its powerful anti-fungal action, applied as directed, may be able to reach the site of the infection by direct application, eliminating the fungus and allowing for regrowth of healthy tissue.
