KindleeRx offers online toenail fungus care with a pill and a prescription nail solution, starting at $99 for 90 days with autoship. STRIDE offers pills, a nail solution or both. Vuret focuses on prescription nail solutions. The right choice depends on your nail infection, health and the treatment routine you can follow. [1, 2, 3, 5]

Which service is worth considering?

KindleeRx: pills and a nail solution in one plan

With our Nail Regimen, you get a consultation, both medicines if prescribed, shipping and 90 days of clinician messaging. The oral treatment uses pulse dosing: terbinafine 250 mg once daily for one week each month, totaling 21 tablets over three months, alongside a nail solution. Brandon Kirsch, a Board-Certified Dermatologist, designed the plan. A licensed clinician reviews your case and provides your care. [1]

Autoship starts at $99, including the first $20 consultation, with refills listed at $79 every 90 days. A one-time purchase is $118.75. Autoship is initially selected at checkout; choose one-time if you don't want automatic refills. [9]

STRIDE: pills, a nail solution or both

STRIDE is worth considering if you want pills without also buying a nail solution. It lists terbinafine or fluconazole pills, a compounded nail solution, and the DUO package with both oral and topical treatment. Its terbinafine options include daily or intermittent tablet schedules. A consultation and free delivery are included. Subscription products renew on the schedule shown at checkout. [2, 10]

Vuret: treatment applied to the nail

Vuret offers two compounded nail solutions, Original and 2.0, with different antifungal ingredients. It may interest you if you prefer to avoid pills. A physician reviews your online questionnaire, and provider messaging is included. Vuret describes treatment plans usually lasting 9 to 12 months. [3, 11]

Vuret shows the plan price at checkout. Check that price and the refill schedule before ordering. [11]

Do you need pills, a nail solution or both?

A prescription nail solution may suit a small infection. Treatment applied to the nail is called topical treatment. It tends to work best when a smaller part of the nail is affected and the infection hasn't reached the base. It can also be an option when pills aren't suitable. Expect a long application routine, with generally a lower chance of clearing the infection than oral treatment. [5]

Pills may be a better choice for a larger infection. Terbinafine is a common prescription option. It reaches the infection through the bloodstream. Your clinician reviews your health history and other medicines before prescribing it. [5, 6]

Some plans use both. A clinician may prescribe a nail solution alongside pills. Two medicines aren't automatically the right choice for everyone; your diagnosis and health still guide the plan. [5]

The nail solutions in this comparison are compounded, meaning a pharmacy prepares them for a prescription. These mixtures are not approved by the Food and Drug Administration. The agency does not check their safety, effectiveness or quality before they are marketed. [12]

Why didn't the drugstore cream work?

An athlete's-foot cream treats skin. Nonprescription terbinafine cream cannot penetrate the nail well enough to treat nail fungus. If a skin cream hasn't helped, prescription nail solutions or pills may still be options. [4]

The nail change may also have another cause. An injury or nail psoriasis can look like fungus. The right diagnosis can spare you another long course of the wrong treatment. [4]

How long until the nail looks healthy?

Expect months, even when treatment works. The damaged nail has to grow out as healthier nail replaces it. A clearer strip growing from the base is an encouraging sign; the old yellow or thickened portion may stay visible for a long time. Some nails retain damage after the infection clears. [7, 5]

Follow the prescribed course and keep your follow-up visits. Don't stop early because the nail looks better, or extend the tablets yourself because it still looks damaged. Your clinician can assess whether the plan needs to change. [4, 6]

Can everything be handled online?

Your consultation can start online with nail photos and your health history. Before oral antifungal treatment, nail testing should confirm the infection. Your clinician reviews your medicines and medical history to decide whether oral treatment is appropriate. Oral terbinafine must not be used with chronic or active liver disease. Photos alone cannot confirm a fungal infection. [1, 6, 8]

See a clinician in person for a painful, swollen toe, an open sore or a new or changing dark streak. You may also need an office visit if your nails need professional thinning. If you have diabetes or poor circulation, ask your clinician about foot care as well as fungus treatment. [4, 5, 13]

Your next step

If a combined prescription plan with clinician support sounds like the right next step, see if KindleeRx's Nail Regimen is right for you. A licensed clinician decides whether treatment is appropriate. Individual results vary.
