Scott, you should go over the following information with your physician & pharmacist. I am NOT a doctor. the following is general information only and not medical advice. 1. new product, Penlac, Rx, $65.29 per bottle. Anti-fungal toenail lacquer, put on like nail polish (works from outside) 2. Sporanox, Rx - current recommended dosage is 2 pills AM & 2 pills PM for one week, then 3 weeks off. repeat as necessary.$199.79/month (works from inside) - so $600 IF 3 months needed. prices are Walgreen's retail for Florida. hope this helps. peterV saintpetersburgFL ps. you COULD ask Dr. Black............. ----- Original Message ----- From: <ScottBonis@ao*.co*> To: <techdiver@aquanaut.com>; <cavers@ca*.co*> Sent: Tuesday, June 06, 2000 2:47 AM Subject: Nail Fungus > Hi guys, > > I discovered last week that (from diving I think) I have a toe nail fungal > infection on one of my big toes.
