Nail fungus may not star in living room conversations, but it is one of the most common problems of the feet, with a prevalence of about 10%–14% of the adult population.
In hot Israel, where sandals are an integral part of the local culture, the problem becomes especially noticeable in the summer season. Heat, humidity and public places such as pools, gyms and locker rooms create ideal conditions for the development of fungi. Prolonged use of closed shoes, such as among soldiers, athletes or people who work long hours in shoes, can also increase the risk.
Emtrix is a preparation for the treatment of nail fungus that has been approved by the Ministry of Health. The preparation is intended for convenient home use, and allows the nails to be treated discreetly as part of the daily grooming routine.
The effectiveness and safety of Emtrix have been proven in clinical studies. The study found that in 76% of patients, some improvement was noticeable already after one week of use. The preparation comes in a solution form that is convenient for application and does not require filing of the nail, which allows persistence with treatment even when multiple nails are involved or in cases requiring prolonged treatment.
Emtrix is available for purchase in pharmacies and drugstore chains without the need for a prescription and in health funds at a discount of 20–25 percent.
