Recently, the drug has begun to gain popularity, so many patients want to know more about how effective mycoderil is against the fungus.

In addition, we will describe several reviews about the drug, tell you about the price of the solution and ointment, and also show which analogues are cheaper than this medication. According to the manufacturer, the drug is highly effective, while having a minimum number of contraindications.

Basic composition, form of release and price

The main active ingredient of the drug is naftifine hydrochloride, this component easily destroys the fungus, while helping to quickly cure the disease.

In liquid form, the drug has a rather pronounced smell of alcohol. In Russian pharmacies, the product costs about 450 rubles for a 10 ml bottle, and about 750 rubles for a 20 ml bottle.

Indications for use

Since the agent has a pronounced antifungal effect, Mikoderil can be used for therapy for such types of diseases:

• the development of candidiasis of the skin;
• mycosis of nails and skin of varying degrees;
• defeat of the interdigital space by fungi;
• pityriasis versicolor.

The solution of Mikoderil allows the treatment of the fungus even in a complicated form, when the disease is very advanced, the patient suffers from severe itching, and there is also a significant thickening of the nail plate.

Many experts advise using a cream and solution to treat fungal diseases located in the scalp.

The price of Micoderil for nail fungus is quite high, as they say, reviews of doctors and patients, you can buy analogues cheaper, but it is this remedy that allows you to get rid of the problem in a short period of time. The drug fights mold and yeast, in addition, the drug helps to get rid of dermatomycetes. They are the main causative agents of the disease.

The solution easily penetrates into the tissues and deep into the nail plate, and after reaching the epidermis, it begins to concentrate in the layers of the skin, thereby helping to quickly solve the problem. It is Mikoderil in liquid form that can penetrate into hard-to-reach places and fill tunnels.

Terms of use of the drug

Since today two types of medicines can be found on sale, the rules for using each of them should be described in as much detail as possible.

Cream for nail fungus:

1. First, the patient prepares the nail plate correctly, for this, the free edge of the nail is cut as short as possible, and then slightly sharpened with a disposable file.
2. Only after that, a cream is applied to the surface of the affected nail, while it is important to touch uninfected areas about a centimeter on each side, since the fungus can also live in the tissues adjacent to the nail.
3. This cream is applied to the affected area twice a day. According to the drug manufacturer, the effect can be seen almost immediately. The duration of the course has no restrictions, it is enough just to wait for the renewal of the nail plate.

As soon as the fungus is cured, Micoderil is recommended to be used for another two weeks in order to completely destroy the microorganisms, this makes it possible to avoid relapse.

Cream for skin fungus:

1. The infected area is thoroughly washed with soap and dried with a towel, after which the drug is applied to it. It is very important to capture from one to two centimeters of healthy tissue during application.
2. Such treatment usually lasts about one month, but in some cases, the therapy is delayed up to eight weeks.
3. As in the case of nail fungus, Mikoderil cream should be applied within two weeks after the symptoms of the lesion have completely disappeared.

Application of the solution

In this form, the drug is usually used to treat a fungus in an advanced form, when the nail plate has become much thicker. Also, the medication is used to treat the fungus of the scalp, since the agent penetrates the affected areas better than the cream.

Of course, there are cheaper analogs, but doctors' reviews indicate that the price of Micoderil from nail fungus is fully justified by the action of the medicine.

Solution for nail fungus:

1. To begin with, the patient should prepare the nail plate, for this, the feet are washed with soap and dried, and then the free edge of the nail plate is cut off with sterile scissors and filed with a disposable file.
2. A cotton pad or gauze is moistened in a solution and then applied to the affected nail. A cotton pad is wrapped with a plaster so that the bandage does not come off and leave until evening. In the evening, you can remove the compress and make a new patch.
3. The drug should be used twice a day. The fungus can be treated in this way for up to six months, until a completely healthy plate grows back.

After all symptoms have disappeared, doctors recommend continuing treatment for another two weeks to remove the remains of the fungus and avoid relapse.

Solution for mycosis of the skin:

1. The agent is applied to the affected area of the skin no more than once a day, this is enough for the treatment to be successful.
2. The skin is pre-cleaned with water and soap, and then dried.
3. The solution is applied to the affected area so as to capture additional healthy tissue by 1-2 centimeters.
4. Candidiasis with such a solution is treated for no more than one month, and dermatomycosis may require therapy from 4 to 8 weeks.

Mikoderil: analogues

As the reviews of many patients say, the price of Micoderil from nail fungus is quite high, so we will describe analogues cheaper, but they will also be slightly inferior in effectiveness. The absolute analogue can be attributed to Exoderil, but this tool has a higher cost.
